GENUINE

GENUINE

Hey I’m John and I’m a multi-disciplinary designer & creative strategist in the DC Metro area.

With every project, I challenge myself to inject personality, ethos, and meaning into the work that I create. My goal is to create forward-thinking designs and push boundaries to create everything and anything that brings impacting moments to those who experience it.

You can count on me to be…

  • Authentic, genuine, and comfortable in my own skin. I work to get better at being my authentic self every day. It's being authentic that has helped me to have great collaborative moments and meaningful relationships with everyone I have had the pleasure of working with.

  • To be perspicacious means to be perceptive and astute. Seeing and understanding the strategy and purpose behind the work is a crucial ability in design. Through both successes and failures along my journey, I've learned to utilize my perspicacity to not only provide beautiful designs, but to provide beautiful designs that make an impact.

  • I love to think about "what if". I love to challenge the norm and ask - what if we tried this weird, wacky way. With my designs, and everything I create, I work to push the boundaries and to explore possibilities that might not yet be discovered.
