Jonathan Legge is a Creative Consultant working in London and Dublin.

Jonathan Legge is the Founder and Creative Director of the Irish e-commerce company, Makers & Brothers.

Makers& Brothers, is a project developed by two brothers, Jonathan and Mark Legge. They are an online retail venture founded on a belief in the simple things; the handmade, objects of integrity, contemporary vernaculars. Raw, genuine qualities that bring meaning and depth to life and the objects one surrounds oneself with. They are an Irish company, involved locally but with an international reach and relevance. They offer a simple curation of everyday design and craft. A collection of the best from Ireland and further afield; objects of use, the simple, beautiful and sometimes nicely odd. They believe in a quite, human approach to retail.
