I’m a design leader with over 12 years of experience creating large-scale digital experiences for global hospitality brands. My work focuses on experience design, visual systems, and storytelling – often operating at scale, across complex environments, and within real-world constraints.
I’ve spent most of my career at Enseo, leading UI/UX, graphic design, motion, and video for interactive television platforms used by millions of guests annually. From guest-facing TV interfaces deployed across thousands of hotel rooms to the internal tools that empower hotel teams to manage their own content, I focus on clarity, consistency, and systems that scale.
Alongside my role at Enseo, I founded Candlelight Creative LLC, a studio centered on visual identity, animation, and narrative work. I’m also a published musician and composer, and my background in music – particularly piano-driven and classical compositions – shapes how I think about pacing, rhythm, and emotion in design.
I lead with a servant-leader mindset and a people-first approach, believing the strongest work comes from trust, clarity, and collaboration. Outside of work, I enjoy exercising, traveling, gaming, learning new tools and techniques, writing music, and – most importantly – spending time with my family.

Rhone Atleshen – Amazon Best-Selling Author
"Jonathan was communicative, fast, and exceptionally genre-savvy. He translated complex themes into polished, market-ready covers that function beautifully both individually and as a cohesive trilogy ecosystem.
