Thanks for taking the time to learn a little more about me. Here's a little about myself and my professional career:

My background is in conceptual and traditional design which includes experience in: print, advertising (both on and off-line), packaging, identity, brand, film, animation, photography, and web. Life, however, has brought me to truly specialize in the internet medium. From online advertising, user-experience research, user interaction design, metrics aggregation and analysis, development, and effectively communicating company brand values through interaction, rich user experience and visual design -- I have a strong foothold in all touchpoints of the online world. I pride myself on my ability to work in teams, my touch in balancing user needs while satisfying business needs, my leadership, and the positive results we consistently deliver.

I also would like to add that although my work is taken with the utmost seriousness, the love of people, a will to challenge the norm, and a sense of humor really makes a job more than a paycheck. Work is either fun or drudgery. It depends on your attitude. I prefer fun.

Cheers,
John

Pretty much anything design.

 

I also like watching sports (mainly the NBA and NFL), video games, animation, brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing, good music (It's subjective, I know but I really do listen to everything), hip-hop dance, sketch/improv comedy and last but absolutely not least, everything about the automotive industry.

 

Finally, I hope to someday find true love.
