bio

At an early age, John found himself at a Dairy Queen scooping ice cream into waffle cones. Now, he finds himself leading the design department at Crispin Porter + Bogusky Toronto. While the transition from Blizzard boy to Director at a successful agency was not an easy one, John managed to muscle through by doing what his mother taught him best; work hard. With dedication, a strong work ethic and raw talent, he has managed to woo the world through a strong attention to his craft, a huge focus on high-level ideation, an up-to-the-minute outlook on the digital world and a deep understanding of how to work with people of all shapes, sizes and temperaments.

Throughout his career, John has had the opportunity to work on brands like Volkswagen, Canon, Telus, Virgin, Motorola, Mitsubishi Motors, Canadian Tire, Blue Shield, New York Life, Microsoft, Rickard's, Carling, Molson, Axe, Aviva, Pfizer and countless others.

John spends his time dreaming up ideas and bringing them to life. He specializes in interactive design and all things digital but also enjoys strategic thinking, high level ideeation and concepting. He really thrives on executing at a high level of detail in record speeds and in his downtime, shoves his favourite findings in his blog.
