Hello! I’m John, a human —
a musician, designer, and technologist.
Systems have captivated me my whole life,
from the piano and traffic signs to DOS.
As a technical UX designer for 15 years,
I’ve helped people reach goals by designing
solutions for systems. My work has spanned
industries and responsibilities, and I am
most energized when I help others directly.
I work with clients to create blended designs:
mobile apps, real-world interior designs,
and the processes that combine them into
thoughtful user experiences. This blended
approach lets me embrace complexity,
supporting small community and nonprofit
groups with work that strives to amplify
the best of our boroughs.
Design
Smarthome is the system I made to use and adjust
my apartment’s smart devices. They offer continuous control
and let me avoid distracting apps and assistants.
Get in touch to review my full portfolio
on interior design (studio, office, organization)
and multimodal design (app, web, blended).
Talent
The piano spiffed up for the demos I released early last year.
I plan to re-record and add a few later this summer.
I have part-time availability for
singing, piano, acting, and voiceovers.
