Jonathan Loudon

Before joining Cooler to lead projects and design teams, Jonathan worked for numerous top design consultancies around the world on award-winning products. After receiving his Industrial Design degree from Carlton University Jonathan worked for Arnott Design Group where he designed medical products, and also won an IDSA business week award for the VisionMaker Desk.

Jonathan gained further experience in the medical design sector at Treadwell Design, then moved on to Teknion as part of the Advanced Concepts department. Using ethnographic insight, market research and design innovation thinking, Jonathan created market growth in the contract furniture industry. One of the results of his work was a sustainability initiative which produced the IDSA Award winning Avion workstation.

Whilst living in Australia in 2003, Jonathan orchestrated large projects in medical products at Outerspace and furniture design at Schiavello. Jonathan taps into his training as a filmmaker to face the complexities of visualizing and orchestrating huge projects. Jonathan believes great things can come from the fusion of creative thinking, understanding the customer’s needs and realizing those needs within a business and engineering context.
