ABOUT

Hi, I'm John!

I bridge the gap between advanced technology and seamless, human-centered design.

I design scalable systems and intuitive experiences that make complex products feel simple. I’ve led AI-powered initiatives, turned machine-learning concepts into clear, approachable interfaces, and built flexible design frameworks that make life easier for developers. Over the years, I’ve guided teams through big software transitions and created branding work for small businesses and independent artists—giving me a wide perspective on both tech and storytelling. I care about making design feel seamless, useful, and a little more human.

Previous positions

Director of Product Design

Blockade Labs

Outside of design, I’m deeply passionate about music. I play guitar, write and record songs, and even build guitars from scratch. That love has shaped decades-long creative partnerships with bands and music brands. I also coach youth club soccer, where I find deep fulfillment in guiding long-term growth not just in skills, but in confidence, teamwork, and character. When I’m not designing, coaching, or playing music, you’ll likely find me spending time with my family.
