Recent Work in the Foundry

Jonathan Maier

Producer / Client Lead

Jonathan has a 20-year track record of bringing groundbreaking educational media to market. As a producer and client lead, he uses his product and team management expertise to deliver on our clients' project needs. He’s a catalyst for innovation and creative problem-solving, advocating for end-users and their requirements, be they fun, functional or both.

Among his past accomplishments, he orchestrated the development of Inspiration 8, the award-winning visual learning tool for middle- and high school students. He also produced and designed the first software titles based on Blue's Clues, the hit Nickelodeon educational television program. The initial titles were the #1 and #4 best-selling children's software the year of their release. (For you aficionados of the show, you'll be envious to know that Jonathan has sat in the actual "Thinking Chair!")

Jonathan is also a writer, most recently authoring two chapter books in a series published jointly by Random House and Sylvan Learning. He received his Bachelors of Arts in Humanities from Marylhurst University in Portland, Oregon, and has studied Film Production, Fine Arts and Creative Writing at the University of Oregon in Eugene.
