I have used Jonathan’s artwork skills for over 15 years on a variety of projects. He is reliable, professional and meticulous in the way he works. I always know I’m going to get an accurate job back. He is flexible and accommodating, understanding when the pressure is on, he always goes out his way to help. He’s also a thoroughly nice and decent guy. This, along with his technical knowledge makes him a safe pair of hands and I would highly recommend him to work with.

Jonathan is a hard-working and diligent Artworker and such a reliable person to work with. He’s methodical in his approach and makes sure every i is dotted and every t is crossed – you just know the artwork he gives you is of high quality. Jonathan’s also friendly, great at communicating and works flexibly making him such a safe pair of hands on your job. From retouching and colour work to checking every millimetre of the print set-up, Jonathan is on it and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
Katrina Simpson – Senior Account Manager at maclean
I’ve worked with Jonathan for many years, he’s super experienced, talented and a really good person. He has a strong technical background, with an eye for detail ensuring every project he works on is delivered to the highest of standards. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

Extremely committed, loyal and result driven professional, with a vast knowledge of technical artwork and its processes.
Derek Sneddon – Founding Partner at Pocket Rocket Creative
I had the pleasure of working closely with Jonathan over a number of years at Navyblue. Jon’s attention to detail and whole hearted commitment was simply incredible. Jon built an exceptional team of creative artworkers and ensured that all Group projects were produced to the required standard and on time. Respected by everyone he would be an asset to any project or team. I certainly could not have asked for a better person to support me during my time at Navyblue.
Jon Evans, Owner at Blood Creative
I had the pleasure of working with Jonathan before his days at Navy Blue and found him a great all round artworker. The role we required of him at the time was in a very specialised area of packaging and he adapted, then very quickly excelled. Not only was he very good at his job but fitted in with the team seamlessly and became a great addition to that team. I have kept in close touch with him since and unsurprisingly he is still the same talented, highly motivated and conscientious person he has always been. Nothing but a pleasure to work with and a great professional.
Dominic Macnamara, threebrand (previously at Tayburn)
Jonathan is a very experienced and focussed individual with a wealth of knowledge in the design industry. I worked under Jonathan for many years and would not hesitate to say that he would be a valuable asset as Studio Manager / Artworker to any company, bringing with him exceptional organisational skills, extremely high standards and great artworking ability.
Stuart Gilbert, Studio and Production Manager – The Gate Edinburgh
I worked alongside Jonathan for around 8 years and found him to be a highly trustworthy, loyal and hard working guy. The quality of Jonathan’s work was second to none and he was always willing to go the extra mile to deliver the excellent quality to a deadline. Jonathan was also well liked for his straightforward approach, being well respected by colleagues and clients alike.
Andrew Murchie, VR. AR. 3D. Award winning Director, Producer & Creative Technology Consultant
I worked with Jonathan Hope both at Apex Design, then becoming KLP Euro RSCG. Jonathan reported in to me for some 10 years in his positions as creative artworker rising justifiably to studio manager. Having been in the design and advertising industry for many years, you occasionally discover genuinely talented and all round good people – Jonathan is one of these unique characters. Dedicated to any task, always keen to improve and push the boundaries, cares, reliable – basically I would recommend to anyone.
