Jon

Founder & Creative Director
Jon Sleepless Media

A passionate collector of greying beards, Converse, run-on sentences, and more flannels than you can swat with a tiny racquet.

Our Founder and Creative Director, Jon's a formerly good designer that no one lets design anything anymore. Instead, he's been promoted to the coveted role of repeatedly moving furniture, putting out fires, and making redundant, distracting, and usually-not-funny comments.

If the world suddenly experiences a shortage of flannels and Converse Jack Purcells, he’d be the first to blame. Speaking of badminton, he was awarded the prestigious championship of his 10th grade P.E. class. But make no mistake, this in no way relates to the tragic bout of tennis elbow that’s been bothering him for what feels like years, when it’s only been like two months. He somehow manages to hide the terrible pain, only complaining about it 11.4 times per day.

But it’s not all roses. If you thought the Soup-Nazi was a bit touchy, please, we beg you, don’t approach the espresso machine while Jon is in the vicinity. Without a doubt, he'll give you your 48th in-depth training on how to do things the right way. You’ll still leave the grinds in the portafilter, and he’ll get all pissed and stuff, but that’s why the rest of the team started doing it on purpose.
