Jon brings a 20+ year arsenal of design, development, UX, marketing, creative writing, and SEO experience to every project we engage in. Whether it’s supporting his beloved team or championing our clients, he fully immerses himself in everything he does, and just-okay doesn't cut it. Not even at 3 AM when he’s usually working on
your proposal.
Growing up in Santa Cruz, California, he was bred on skateboarding and punk rock with an ingrained love for design—skateboard graphics, album art, guitars, and everything in between. Every spare inch of his high-school binders were covered with doodles of his favorite brand and band logos.
Prior to founding the agency, Jon gained a love for all things coffee in his formative barista years, managed logistics and art direction for touring bands, and led design and marketing at
Sessions Records. When pirating all but sank the record industry in 2003, he sent a mass email to all of his contacts to gauge any interest in his freelance design work. Instantly swamped, he bought a $600 PC and stuffed it in the corner of his living room, incidentally starting the company in the process, never once looking back.
