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 designer for 15 years
and a pianist and musician for more,
I’ve helped people reach goals by designing
workflows, websites, and experiences
across industries, groups, and roles.
I am most energized when I can serve
a complex and significant scenario with
impact far beyond any scale of compute.
I’m here in NYC to help serve your next
music, experience, or hard-to-define
design need.
Talent
The piano spiffed up for some of my first demos.
More recent experiments are on the synth keyboard.
I offer improvised piano for weddings, events,
and lounge and recorded settings. I also offer
singing, acting, and creative direction.
Design
Smarthome in the Denver kitchen, 2024. This is a project for
everyday life, letting me use my apartment’s smart devices.
It’s a warm alternative to distracting apps and assistants.
