JONATHAN C. RIEMER
New York PanMedia
Design Director / Founder
Photographer

Jonathan is part teacher, part artist, part technologist, and New York PanMedia unites his passions into a single entity. His goal was to create something that allowed a group of like-minded artists to work together, leveraging respective strengths without compromising individuality. As a media-contractor, Jonathan has a unique vantage point that allows creativity with design and emerging technologies, while at the same time ensuring ongoing learning from a wide range of talented artists.

In the past year Jonathan has designed, programmed, tested, and launched nearly thirty websites. He takes great pains to ensure that each project is original, avoiding "canned" graphics and photos. Balancing dynamic, database driven websites with smart, original design is his hallmark. In addition to web design Jonathan has a rapidly growing photography portfolio that includes fashion, nature, and a recent project for InStyle magazine.

For nearly eight years Jonathan was an elementary school teacher. The creativity of his young students inspired him to continuously learn and test new skills. Today, he continues to teach elementary and middle school, as well as adult education classes. This experience helps him to understand how people absorb information, and this in turn informs his design concepts.
