What People Say
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“Jonathan was professional in every way, a delight to work with. He initiated problem-solving ideas and applied creative talents to visualize the artistic aims of the project we were developing. He has a good general knowledge of coding and mechatronics and finds creative solutions that leverage his skills. Jonathan is an intelligent, creative, capable and courteous person and an asset to any creative design team. I will be shortlisting him for any future work and would highly recommend him as a valuable member of a creative design team.”Dr Tricia Flanagan
Senior Lecturer & Co-Director of Creative Technologies Research Lab, UNSW
“I’ve known Jonathan since his first year at UNSW. He was an Interaction Design student of mine, and he always had a keen interest in the discipline and showed the skills of a competent researcher. Jonathan and myself along with others at the Creative Robotics Lab have collaborated on multiple projects including the Labs Pathway Project, an initiative that pulled Jonathan into future-focused design research during his postgraduate. I’ve always found him a keen learner and focused problem solver willing to take on any challenge with a drive to find unique and provocative solutions. Throughout his time at UNSW he has taken on complex challenges in design as both a student and researcher and I've never seen him shy away. He will most certainly make an excellent addition to any team.”Dr Haider Akmal
Lecturer & Researcher, UNSW
“I had the pleasure of working with Jono on my recent PhD-level animated film project. Jono’s vocal performance was absolutely crucial in bringing the visuals to life in a warm and authentic way, with a spot-on delivery that perfectly captured the tone and emotions of the documentary project. Additionally, Jono was always welcoming and responsive to feedback and direction. Beyond his superb voice work, Jono was an invaluable technical resource in assisting with all aspects of audio recording and integration. Jono’s collaborative approach made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I’m enormously grateful for Jono’s contributions, and I recommend him wholeheartedly. He’ll elevate your project to new heights with his skills, commitment and wonderful attitude.”

“In my work with Jonathan he has exhibited outstanding work ethic, producing top tier quality output and creative capabilities. He is clear and concise in his communication. He is hard working, reliable and resilient to change. I run my own ideas and projects past him for his input, as his insights are informed and always offer value. In my experience, Jonathan enjoys his work and is deeply passionate about design, typography, user experience and all product interactions. The only limit I see to Jonathan's potential is there are only 24 hours in each day.”

His exceptional communication and presentation skills are second to none, enabling him to clearly convey complex design concepts. His interdisciplinary approach to design, combined with good listening skills, allows him to output innovative and meticulously executed projects. This, combined with his ability to thrive in team settings, makes Jono a valuable asset to any organization.”

“A simple but brilliant idea. You controlled the flow of information well in a thoroughly engaging presentation. It takes great commitment and resilience to change the project so late in the process. Not only did you do this but created an infinitely stronger result. Your attitude to problem-solving and the design process is strong. Keep doing what you are doing. This is an excellent project.”Mr Micheal Donohue

“Your scoping of the existing literature and practice was diverse and thorough. The mapping was the highest standard I have ever seen in this course. Your methodology was highly detailed and could easily be applied in a real-world research setting. If you are able to apply the same rigor and attention to detail in the coming years, you will make a fantastic researcher in the art and design space.”
