Jonathan's career started with an apprenticeship as a City&Guilds Fine Furniture Maker. He soon realized his true passion included design as well as craftsmanship so he went on to graduate with a degree in 3Dimensional Design.
With this combination of design and technical acumen he worked his way traveling the globe in the fashion of a modern day 'journeyman' gaining a wealth of experience and living in New Zealand, Australia in Europe (France, Portugal and Spain), Japan and the USA.
He is accomplished as a senior designer working for international architects and interior designers (Eg, BENOY, WESTFIELD, PEDDLE THORP) as well as teaching design at universities and colleges and successfully completing designs for video and theater.
A passion for blue water sailing resulted in a sabbatical as a semi-professional sailor delivering yachts world wide. This led to opportunities to apply his design and production skill set in the classic yacht and super yacht industries.
A chance visit to London attracted him to move for a life in the metropolis and included working for LINLEY the renowned luxury brand of furniture makers and interior designers.
He is still living in the metropolis although the city has changed to New York where he continues a 'live to work' life practicing as a designer and craftsman in the USA.
