About

About

My name is Jonathan (real ones call me Jonny) and I’m an award-winning Associate Creative Director based in Chicago. With over a decade of experience, I've been lucky to have work honored at Cannes, LIA, El Ojo Iberoamerica, New York Festival, Communication Arts Design, and FIAP. My biggest accomplishment was having my Mom say “ooo that’s cool” once. With a resume longer than a CVS receipt, I've waltzed through agencies like DDB, Publicis Sapient, BBDO, and Leo Burnett.

In my current role at VML, I'm leading integrated campaigns for The Coca-Cola Company, Gold Peak, Vitaminwater, Coke Zero, Intel, and US Navy. When I’m not busy brainstorming brilliance (obviously), you can find me watching all the soccer my eyes can handle, crushing 70 year olds in pickleball, and binge-watching series like it’s an Olympic sport. If you’re looking for someone with a passion for creativity with a side of silly gif’s please feel free to contact me.
