What people say
From managers, peers, and cross-functional partners.
I highly recommend Jonathan as a designer and as a colleague. He is incredibly hard-working, deeply committed, and someone you can always rely on to see things through. He has a strong and thoughtful design systems mindset, with a real understanding of how to build work that scales and lasts. Beyond his skills, Jonathan brings a friendly, positive energy to any team.
I worked with Jon for 5 years — he always showed an incredibly strong work ethic and thoughtful methodology to tackling design solutions. His knowledge in design systems and complex applications is where he thrives. Always putting the user at the head of the table, whilst bridging the gap between design and development.
Jonathan is a lovely, level-headed and easy-going person to work with! Would highly recommend working with him because of his adaptability in collaborative work and always up to date within his line of work!
