To our Friends and Colleagues: I’m sad to announce that after many years at The Imagination House, Jonathan Barr will be leaving the company this October 2018. As one of the co-founders, and my lifelong friend, I will miss his presence greatly and I am extremely proud of the company we have built. The remaining partners, Mike Avila, Javier Rejón, and myself, along with the entire music, design, and support team at The Imagination House, will continue our commitment to providing the very best creative and entertainment production services to our clients and partners. We are excited to see what the future holds for Jonathan and look forward to working with him as he creates new opportunities in his new home city of Prague, in the Czech Republic. Please join us in congratulating Jonathan (and maybe send me a little extra love as I'll be missing my bestie). ~ Joyce
