Jon is a superb designer and a pleasure to work with. He is a master at relationship building and brings the team together through structured collaboration. One of Jon's best qualities as a UX designer is his ability to explain and present complex concepts in simple human terms on behalf of the users. By doing this time and time again, he helped our XFN team think more from a human-centric approach. His positive attitude and good energy make it a pleasure to work with him day after day and I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him
