Jon Robinson is not an artist. He's the Head of Design and Research at Pager, a virtual navigation platform supporting healthcare consumers. Before that, he did a bunch of other stuff: Freelanced, agency gigs, not-for-profits and in-house design teams, and built experiences for global brands as a tech consultant. Jon has a bachelor's degree in art history and graphic design from Illinois Wesleyan University, a graduate degree in creative technologies from Illinois State University, and a graduate degree in design thinking from Indiana University. He misplaced 2 out of 3 of those diplomas. At heart, he's a polymath. In spirit, he's someone who would never actually use the word "polymath." He's lectured and spoken on everything from user experience to the convenience economy, from service design to his passion for anything published by Kurt Vonnegut. In addition to his general love for learning, Jon taught design for nearly a decade, most recently with the School of Art, Design, and Media at Lindenwood University and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. He co-authored 97 Things Every UX Practitioner Should Know from O'Reilly Media. Jon lives with his wife and two children in Missouri. See less
