Thanks for dropping by!
John is a User Experience Designer optimizing flows, visuals, and design systems @ LIZHI INC.
John began his UX journey when he was working on his B.F.A. at the Rochester Institute of Technology. UX became a passion for John when he was transitioning his skill set away from motion design to a field embracing new and exciting technologies.
John believes in the power of design in technology: helping create an engaging interaction and outstanding experience between humans and products, solving difficult problems with practical solutions, and bringing amazing ideas to reality. The most important part of this process is to inspire!
