Nice words, even nicer people.

A true self-starter, he brings a wealth of expertise in design thinking, seamlessly incorporating it into creating user-centric solutions. Jonathan has a keen eye for detail, consistently delivering polished designs within established modern design systems, such as Figma. His ability to grasp product strategy is commendable.
Jonathan excels in information hierarchy to organize complex concepts with clarity and efficiency. What sets him apart is his collaborative spirit, fostering an environment where diverse perspectives converge for impactful outcomes. Moreover, Jonathan excels in communication, articulating design rationale and concepts effectively to cross-functional teams.
In summary, Jonathan is a valuable team member, combining technical proficiency with a strategic approach to state-of-the-art product design.
Andreas HinrichsCEO Finio, Digital Motors
Jonathan is a rare talent indeed. His designs are near perfection, his understanding of business needs is unique and the ease in which he forms colors, shapes and messages into a functional work of art is enough to make all around jealous. Jonathan was a managers dream, needing very little input and always attempting to push the boundaries in the best interest of the project. Without hesitation, I would work with Jonathan again.
Lewis WrightChief Experience Officer
Jonathan is an exceptionally talented senior art director with a sharp eye for design and creative execution. His work is clean, professional and powerful. Not only is he technically savvy with design principles and online art direction, he has a keen understanding of the business. At Experian, we’ve seen record-breaking revenues and profits year after year, in both good economic times and in bad. Jonathan is a major contributor to the company’s success and has worked on many high-profile accounts. He would be a definite asset to any creative team.
Rik McDonaldSenior Copywriter
Jonathan is a brilliant and very creative designer. He understands the balance between beautiful design that not only looks good, but also effectively converts customers. He's very open to feedback while providing innovative ideas and a true pleasure to work with. I'd recommend him highly for any design project.

Beyond the pixels.
I grew up in Southern California, and after living in places like Hawaii, Washington D.C. and Virginia, I’ve planted roots back home in the beach town of San Clemente. I share everything in life with my wife and our four energetic and attention-hoarding Yorkies and Dachshunds.
I started taking portraits of our dogs and soon after for family and friends, anyone with a dog, really. Every animal has such unique and funny characteristics, and I like bringing it out through portrait photography.
