Jon’s teaching is rooted in authorship and intention, guiding students to develop visual communication solutions that tell compelling stories and inspire social change. His goal is to empower students as agents of transformation, equipping them to advocate for meaningful causes through thoughtful design and communication.
Jon’s personal practice leverages technobiophilia, exploring the intersection of nature and technology through interactive multimedia installations. Using a variety of approaches he creates digitally mediated connections with nature that immerse audiences in new worlds. Through technology, design, and communication, his work aims to deepen people’s sense of connection to the land and to each other.
Design creates culture.
Culture shapes values.
Values determine the future.
