Testimonials

  • Simone Collins

    Managing Director, The Pragmatist Foundation

    Jonathan Dyason is an absolutely brilliant person to work with on all fronts. In addition to producing great work, he is an excellent communicator and he clearly and regularly communicates to his partners what he is working on, what he is planning to work on next, where he is stuck, where he needs clarification, and where he needs assistance. He regularly goes above and beyond, finding solutions to problems before they've even occurred to us. I only hope to find more opportunities to work with him—and in more extensive ways—going forward.

  • Malcolm Collins

    Executive Director, The Collins Institute

    Jonathan is one of the few people I trust with the projects that matter most to me. He has been the pivotal person developing my top passion project in life, an educational platform designed to be a viable alternative to the legacy schooling system (and the platform I plan to use for my own children's education, something that is of crucial importance to me and their futures). He is smart, resourceful, tactful, proactive, and also very careful with expenses and time spent (he won't waste your time or money). Couldn't imagine a better partner on important projects.
