Jonathan’s passion for drawing and sculpting sparked his journey into Industrial Design. While studying at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, he discovered a niche in exhibit design and fabrication, leading to an internship with an exhibit builder where he tailored his skills specifically for this dynamic field.
He began his professional career in 2007 with The AGAM Group, a leading manufacturer of exhibits and displays. Over more than a decade, Jonathan developed deep expertise in concept development, CAD design, and 3D printing, while honing his fabrication skills in a machine shop environment. He gained hands-on experience with advanced technologies and processes, including CNC routing, milling, press brake, laser cutting, and waterjet machining.
Now, as an Experiential Designer at Hargrove Inc., Jonathan specializes in creating immersive, large-scale brand environments for high-profile events and activations. His work involves end-to-end design—from initial concept development and 3D modeling to final production—leveraging his technical knowledge and creative vision to bring memorable experiences to life.
Outside of work, Jonathan remains deeply interested in blending artistic creativity with cutting-edge technology, constantly exploring new tools and methods to enhance his craft.
