Jon began his extensive professional career while he was studying fine arts at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa. His fascination with photography led to the start of his first professional venture, a freelance photography studio in Honolulu. Jon specialized in advertising and fashion photography and soon his natural artistic talent and creativity came to the attention of some of Hawai`i's top ad agency art directors who recommended that Jon study photography and graphic design at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles.

While attending Art Center Jon accepted freelance photography assignments from major record labels: MCA, Capitol Records and A&M Records. On return to Hawai`i he opened his own creative design studio where he continued to develop his talents and hone his skills in virtually every aspect of advertising, graphic design and visual media. Jon has earned an associate degree in computer graphics (AASCG with High Honors) and has taught computer graphics and website design at Commonwealth International University in Honolulu.

Jon was most recently the art director and lead graphic designer at HonStudios, a small, creative design studio in Honolulu. His personal creative design venture has evolved into Digible Dreams, a digital multimedia production studio. The studio's name reflects Jon's progression into creative digital multimedia production with the addition of digital film, video, audio and music production to advertising, graphic design and website design.
