Not only was Jon on top of his own work, his resourcefulness, knowledge, and willingness to help others were evident every day. He has personally helped me out on numerous occasions when I was stuck on a problem or needed a second eye on a project.

Huntz LiuSENIOR VISUAL DESIGNER

Jon clearly has a trained eye for commercial design. But what may surprise some is that he's also got a sharp mind for code. I've seen very few true hybrids like Jon. But his combined intellectual grasp of art and logic provides immeasurable value to any team.

Jamison BourqueSENIOR PRODUCT DESIGNER

Jon was my 'go-to' person for amazing creatives. Anytime I needed mock-ups of something we decided to pitch to a client, Jon got right on it even if he had a ton of other things on his plate. I can tell Jon about a concept in my head, and he'll know exactly what I want.

Angela VerachiSENIOR PROGRAM MANAGER

Jon is an exceptional designer and an individual that thinks outside the box to care for client needs. He brings an amazing up beat attitude to work on a daily basis and has never said no to a challenge. He is one of the most diligent workers and has great time management skills.
