About
Outside of design, I’m a people person, a big ol' video game nerd, travel enthusiast, and Chicago sports fan. I also enjoy long walks down the sidewalk to grab another mid-afternoon iced coffee (regardless of season) and I'm always looking forward to the next team happy hour, whether it's in-person or virtual.

We hired John to completely revamp the website for our non-profit, the Illinois Society of Genetics Professionals. Despite myself being an absolute website novice, I was one of the board members tasked with spearheading this effort. Fortunately, I could not have chosen anyone better than John to walk me through and ultimately complete this process!

I was constantly impressed by and thankful for all of John's dedication to the work we'd put him on - He not only became a designer we could trust to get the job done but truly "own" the work and win favor with our product managers. If I have any regrets with John, it's that we couldn't keep him on and offer him a full-time position. John is an exceptional designer and human being, and wherever he lands I know he will do great things.

Whenever a project came down the line where I got to work with John, I knew it was going to be a good one. Whether a small or big undertaking, John's attention to detail as well as asking questions to understand the context for the end product design is always appreciated and valued. Not only that, but John is just a really down to earth guy that is fun to just shoot the shit with in any kind of setting. Can't recommend John enough as both a designer and human.

John was assigned to be the lead designer for all of our digital materials, event branding, and printed collateral for a national conference. He also designed a brand new logo for the event. John is extremely talented, communicative, and he works with a sense of urgency without ever failing to deliver great design. In addition to working with him directly on the event, he's also contributed immensely to improving 55places.com and Neighborhoods.com's mobile and desktop interfaces.
