Mr Jon Mortimer

Biography

Jonathan has been both a professional Interior Designer and design educator for over thirty years. His specialisms include the design of hotels, spa’s and leisure spaces, restaurant design, exclusive residential design, and retail and exhibition design. He also worked on the design of an estate on a private island in the Caribbean. A keen advocate of contemporary visualising techniques which utilise graphical software, he also maintains a strong connection with hand drawing and painting, being an ardent Urban Sketcher and weekly life drawing sessions. In 2015, Jon published a collection of short stories creating new myths for an old village in Kent and illustrated each of the fifty-five fairy tales with linocut black and white illustrations.

Jon has always explored the developing processes of architectural visualisations, through hand drawing, Computer Aided Drafting, 3D Modelling and now Artificial Intelligence Image Generators, supporting students in their own journey of self representational discovery through this fascinating new opportunity.
