From the time Jon interviewed you could tell that he had a love for and knowledge of Human Centered Design. It was an easy decision to hire him. He carried that drive and passion through to his internship where he was put on to a design research effort centered around our onboarding program where he did a lot of great work.

The old adage "where there's a will, there's a way" is a mantra that has been passed down to me by my mother and grandmother and one that has proved to be true in my own life. From growing up in poverty to becoming an Adobe Design Circle Scholar studying at an out-of-state private art school (SCAD), I have achieved my goals through determination and a belief in my own abilities. I hope to inspire others to believe in themselves and their potential and to use design to spark their impossible ideas into reality.
