When you work in a broadcast television environment, as I have for nearly 20 years, you have the opportunity to work with many designers on a variety of projects. While all of them take your work and direction, few rise to the level that Jon does, and he does it consistently! His eye for creativity that aligns with our vision is always spot on! Jon is quick to communicate, makes changes and revisions effortlessly, and is timely with all deliverables. When things come up, working with an artist who understands the demands, and embraces change, is one of the finest qualities Jon brings to the table. From vehicle designs, print projects, to graphics for broadcast initiatives, Jon is great to work with. Experience for yourself, what makes him such a valuable designer.
