Bio
Jenn R.
Jonathan is simply "the best." I managed Jon as our Graphic Design Manager at Lotus Concepts Management for 3 years as he oversaw design, strategy, photo/video, and print production for 5 food, beverage, and entertainment brands. He is a creative graphic & UX designer that is always mindful of customer experience paired with engaging design. Jon is organized, deadline-driven, a great multitasker, and communicates effectively with a wide range of personalities. What makes Jon stand out is his positive attitude and flexibility to always be ready to tackle new projects or revisions. Jon's the guy you want to work with and hangout with. A great colleague and great friend to anyone on the team!

Jonathon is the ideal member of any team. He is an infectious light of positivity in the work place. No matter what (how much) is thrown his way, he is passionate, possesses a desire to continually learn new skills and is eager to become involved in new projects to challenge him professionally. I managed Jonathon for roughly 6 months and I was able to witness his talents and creativity blossom as he was tasked to fully brand a new product of ours where he continually offered up new creative approaches and techniques. Jon has acute attention to details, can work in fast paced / continually changing environments with minimal direction or supervision while multi tasking on a diverse projects. It was an absolute pleasure working with Jon & I'm so excited to see where his career path takes him!
