In February 2010 he wrote in a blog post that after working on a long-term project he got the itch do something different. For that reason, he stopped working full-time at Opera and does freelance work again.

According to an interview with Kate Musgrove from the Affinity Spotlight, in 2014 Jon said his favorite design done at the time was working on the Spotify icon. This combined his love of design with his love of music.

In June 2015 Opera Software announced that he will join Opera as Lead Designer for the Desktop team.
