Prior experience and professional background
Jonathan has a broad design background having initially trained as a Product Designer at the University of Salford. He has worked on a variety of commercial projects both here in the UK and, whilst on an exchange programme, at The Institute of Design - Lahti University of Applied Sciences (Finland). These have allowed him to gain considerable knowledge of the varied aspects of Graphic, Product, Interface, Exhibition, Medical and Architectural design.
He developed his interest in Graphic Design whilst at university and expanded this when he completed his MA in Heritage Studies by joining a well known high street printing franchise. This company allowed Jonathan to work with international clients developing their corporate identity as well as small local companies looking for new branding and marketing solutions.
Jonathan has designed for for clients such as Vodafone, Ericsson, Hilton Hotels and Dell Computers, Tarmac, The MOD and Nokia.
