Jonathan J. Steffens’s Summary

I am your go-to professional as a Web & Marketing Specialist focusing on all forms of digital and print communications.

My prior experience in Silicon Valley as an electronic marketer and web developer provided a unique skillset in our millennial age to communicate across a variety of platforms - enabling increased exposure across various audience segmentations to enhance your marketing efforts.

With an aesthetic eye (and as a part-time photographer) - I am looking to enhance your brand and user experience by seeking employment with a higher education institution or private firm to help spearhead your communication efforts - through user experience design, electronic marketing, and web development.

Like many in my field, I started as a generalist with expertise in many areas and can easily adapt to a role that best suits your team and work environment. As an employee, I bring a plethora of technical knowledge from various industries, an enthusiastic demeanor, and relative ease in relating complex technologies and procedures as an educator to be an effective communicator for your business.

I invite you to look over my body of work, and to contact me with inquiries or questions on how I might assist your company or just help a colleague with your business.
