  Recommendations
  Jonathan has been trusted business associate at WeAreTeachers -- assuming an important role in analyzing end user need, envisioning the user experience, and translating that vision to technical documents for the development team. Essentially an Information Architect, Jonathan has worked closely with the business team to operationalize the details of the end user experience, consistent with the needs of the business. His work ethic and dedication to quality is beyond reproach. It is my pleasure to recommend him.
  Sandy Fivecoat, CEO for WeAreTeachers
  
  Jonathan is one of the finest people I have ever worked with. If my company had an opening for him, I would hire him again without hesitation and with high gratitude. Jonathan is a superior Information Designer. His work product is always outstanding and on time. He is very skilled at producing written copy for technical documentation and marketing content. His graphic design skills are very good. He produces content for print, online access, or event display. In addition, Jonathan is quite skilled at crafting the user experience for web-based and desktop software products. Jonathan is a hard worker and I can't recall working with anyone who is more professional. He is an asset to any company. I give Jonathan my highest recommendation.

  I have had the opportunity to work with Jonathan at WeAreTeachers for over two years. His attention to quality, detail, timelines and processes are exceptional and were extremely valuable on every project he implemented and managed. Jonathan would be a valuable resource on a wide range of project types that include:
  • product requirements
  • functional specifications
  • web design
  • quality/process controls
  • marketing copywriter

Jonathan is able juggle the delicate balance of identification and documentation to support user needs aligned to business direction. I recommend and would enjoy the opportunity to work with Jonathan again in the future.
