“Jon was decisive and confident in his approach, but always willing to work within constraints and ensure combat was meaningfully tied to narrative and all aspects of the game to create the best possible IP and player experience.”

“Jon is, by a wide margin, one of the best game designers I’ve ever worked with. He has the ability to drill down to the player level to understand different motivations and then pull back to the bigger picture to craft experiences and systems that both caters to and balances out often those competing needs across cohorts.”

“Jon was an incredible mentor to me as I began my career in the games industry. As our Lead Combat Designer, he provided not only guidance and support but also a clear, compelling vision that gave our work purpose and direction. He consistently trusted his team to execute while contributing as a design powerhouse in his own right, providing us with a rock-solid foundation to build upon.”
