Aloha, I'm John!

A product designer who builds with code. I've shipped complex systems for highly technical users and led others to do the same.

I do my best work in the browser, designing and building in code. AI is part of the workflow, not a buzz word. If you want to see the recipets here's the last year on GitHub
