John leads his team to approach design from the perspective of breathing; effortless, seamless, yet powering an extensive life form to make an incredible impact.</p> <p>Everything starts with identity, and this has been the approach for all of a small studio’s collaboration with Design partners over the past 5 years, from local businesses to startups and Unicorns. Every piece of branding, digital asset, design system, or product is Identity-driven and delivered in rhythm with aspirations.</p> <p></p> <p>John leverages his background in Architecture and Business Administration to positively impact emerging creatives across the globe and all of his client partners. This is why he developed a trademarked industry framework, <a rel="noopener noreferrer noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.identityarchitecture.org/">Identity Architecture</a> which empowers everyone he partners with. He believes passionately in fostering community and creating belonging, which led him to build the platform <a rel="noopener noreferrer noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.asmallstudio.com/boo">Designers Are Scary</a>, which evens the odds for young creatives searching for their identity or just curious about the Design industry.</p>
