THIS IS MORE ABOUT JOHN
The first time John left the country, he bought as many mementos as he could fit in his suitcase to give as gifts when he returned home. He brought the beauty back with him and fostered a shared experience. Today, he still leaves room for mementos and gifts when he travels.
From his earliest memories, John recalls admiring the power of beautiful design and the way it draws people in. So, it’s not hard to imagine his work is all about creating, curating and facilitating teams and experiences that evoke hope, change and forward movement. From his years of working in the nonprofit sector and cultivating messages of life and growth, John saw that when we look beyond ourselves we can actually see ourselves reflected back to us through things that may look very different than we imagined. This is John’s secret weapon. He leads with presence. We know many people say that, but it’s true. It’s a kind of presence that delivers incredible attention and focus to every client, every project, and every relationship.
He has the ability to understand who is in front of him, how they see the world, and the kind of story they want to tell. AND he knows how to lead a team to actually make it happen. In cities all over the world— from New York to Los Angeles, Vancouver to Hong Kong, London to Florence, and many more— John has harnessed vision and realized it with hospitality, intentional design, and presence. From planning intimate gatherings and small music sets to facilitating multisite conferences and orchestrating global tour events, John has been connecting people to ideas and environments that impact culture for over 20 years.
… and he’s just getting started.
These are some brands John has had the pleasure of collaborating with:
