    John has always had a curiosity for how and why users love the products and services they use. This lead him to pursue a degree in Industrial Design from Columbia College Chicago. From there his passion for great design led him to work in a variety of different industries, including: Custom Furniture, Marketing and Sign & Identification. A few years later, John transitioned from Industrial to Digital by way of the UXDI program at General Assembly.
