I’m John, a product designer who thrives in complex, heavily regulated industries
“There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.” - Mr. Rogers
A little about me...
Last year, my wife and I moved from NYC to Northern Virginia with our two pups, and we absolutely love our new home.
Open source
I want to leave this world better than I found it. I’ve contributed to many open source projects, from designing interactive threat maps for Ukrainians to designing and building Cabin, an open source, privacy-focused social network built on ATProto.
Public service
I have previously volunteered as an EMT and firefighter; it’s the contribution I’m most proud of, and I encourage every person to at least certify in CPR. I maintain an EMT-B certification and am actively exploring volunteer opportunities in NoVA.
Equality for all, forever
Nothing in this world will prevent me from advocating for those who cannot advocate for themselves.
Martial arts
I’ve trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu periodically through the years, and I genuinely love the experiences I have had.
AI & LLMs
I don’t see AI as a threat to my livelihood. I see it as a way of leveling up in so many aspects of my daily work.
Case studies
I currently lead creative teams in the financial space, but I get my hands dirty outside my day job. For additional samples, please reach out at hello@jaj.io
Overview
Cabin is an open-source, privacy-focused social network designed for iOS, Android, and web
