Jon is the technical developer at Interactive Cultures.  He also teaches web design and visual design within the School of Media.

Jon’s main role within the centre is to assist the Fellowship in the formulation and realisation of prototype technologies and solutions.  This involves researching existing models, and then adapting and developing them into working models for our partners.  The centre has a preference for using open source technologies and established frameworks over bespoke systems.

Jon, a graduate of the School of Media, returned to BCU in June 2008.  He brought  with him eight years of industry experience delivering consultancy, marketing advice and design solutions to a varied client list that included micro-businesses, SMEs, listed companies and public sector organisations.
