About Me

Hi, I'm John — a Design Director and creative visionary delivering results for premium luxury brands.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the world’s best-known brands, helping to launch standout products and shape compelling visual identities. From agile Kickstarter startups to global conglomerates, each client brings unique challenges — and I thrive on crafting tailored design solutions that transform ideas into strategic, beautiful outcomes.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with leading design agencies including BWP, Revere, VCCP, Grey and Orbit, contributing to a wide range of successful campaigns and product launches. My approach blends creativity with commercial insight, ensuring every design not only looks great but delivers real impact.
