John here!
I'm a Senior Product Designer for real (formal design degrees) with over 13 years of experience building complete digital products. I combine product thinking with a solid background in art direction and especially vibe coding, so the design crosses past the just-looks-good-mockup line and ends up running, functioning, and delivering results.
In short: I work holistically, think structurally, turn the brief into a complete product. Product strategy, visual craft, and vibe coding run in parallel, not in sequence, so handoff friction disappears and nothing gets lost in translation. They're not three roles I rotate between projects. They're three lenses on the same project, and the good decisions show up at their intersection.
I start from the product's purpose and build the user experience around it. I map flows, structure information, and define the logic of every interaction, so the user moves forward naturally and feels the product's coherence at every step.

The natural extension of the product side. Interfaces, assets, and visual direction form a unified system where every detail contributes to consistency, clarity, and the feeling that everything is held by one hand.
A superpower that maps naturally onto product and the way I work. I use it to jump from idea to prototype, so I can validate and refine the product fast. That's how I close the loop between idea and execution. I don't stop at the classic handoff. I keep going until I reach something functional, easy to test, and easy to iterate on.
How I work matters as much as the final result. I thrive in autonomous teams where speed comes from trust and everyone contributes where they have the most expertise. I don't get attached to the versions I'm working on, so feedback doesn't scare me. I actively seek it out.
I anticipate problems and move before they're raised, without waiting for a brief to set me in motion.
I propose new directions when I see something worth improving, and I bring solutions, not just observations.
I take tasks to the finish line without needing micromanagement, but I keep the team in the loop the whole way.
I switch direction when the data calls for it, learn fast what I don't know, and adapt to requirements as they show up.
I see myself as part of the team's outcome and step beyond my role whenever I can bring clarity, speed, or value.
AI hit my stack like a tsunami. We “get” each other at a glance. They didn't pick me. I picked them. And when we sit down at the same table, I feel like I have superpowers.

Hundreds of thousands of layers, ungodly gigabytes of storage, nerves of steel, and coffee in nearly legal quantities. A short list of what I've used. Check out what's coming up below.
Started with a pencil, kept going with a lot of Cmd+Z, and turned into a journey of constant adaptation, always close to new tech, workflows, and the changes that push things forward.
