Hi, I’m John.
I’m a Designer and Storyteller. 🎨 🎭
I currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area and I am currently doing a combination of freelance and entrepreneurial design work. I have worked for a variety of clients, and I also make my own apps (most of which are related to my background in the performing arts).
My apps have a combined average rating of 4.6 stars, based on 2,600+ reviews, and a total of 873,000+ downloads.
CASE STUDIES

From MVP to Broadway! 🎼
A recent update of my most popular app. I started this from zero in 2015, and by 2023/2024 I had grown to 16k Daily Active Users and partnered with a Broadway musical.

Making a music video with AI. 🤖
A presentation I gave about my experiences using AI tools (mainly MidJourney and Adobe Photoshop) to make a music video (“Let Me Know What You’re Feeling” by The Guest and The Host) at AI User Group in San Francisco on Dec. 11, 2024.
about me
I love writing/directing films and running. I’ve made a few short films and I’ve run 10 marathons. Later this year I plan to run the San Francisco and New York City marathons, again!
My short films can be seen on my YouTube channel, and if you’re a runner in San Francisco I hope to see you out there!
