Resume

1. JonJafariBusiness / Marketing
I’m a dash of designer, businessman, and copywriter, but my
true passion is making delightful experiences by bringing
together the tools and knowledge of a great team. I under-
stand how designers think, but I’m not a designer. I have a
love of words, but I am not a copywriter. I believe that
business strategy starts with someone who understands what
their team can do, and ends with the ability to tie all those
strengths together in a pitch. I can find the market. I can
invigorate the people I work with. I can define strategy, but
more importantly, I can bring together a group of people with
divergent skills, kick ass, and bring creativity to life.

grow along side a company,
manage his duties in stride, and
deliver results for any given task.
Although I am fairly new to this
