Consultant & Educator
“When the Designlab team said that we would be mentoring by experts, I was anxious about how it would be. The anxiety passed in the first session with John. In addition to being gentle, the way he gives feedback is incredible, always in a positive way, encouraging me to make improvements and always guided by the practices of Design. In addition, he always provided me with extra tips and materials that he found relevant.”
- Roberta A, UX Academy Foundations

“John was great to work with - giving me solid, clear feedback each time we spoke and communicated. He really got the gist of the vision I had for my course's project and helped me realize it in ways I hadn't even conceived of - stretching me to do things outside my comfort zone and allowing me to grow as a designer. Many thanks!”
- David B, Design 101

“John is awesome! He gives timely and helpful feedback and really meets you where you’re at but gives you the tools to improve and learn more. He also had a wealth of knowledge and really takes the time to share it and make sure you’re getting not only what you want out of the course but what you need to be successful.”
- Ashley W, UI Design
“John has been a pleasure to work with during this course. He gives pointed, helpful feedback in a timely manner, and is always polite when getting his point across. He has encouraged me to think about many elements of the project I am working on, as well as broader aspects of the career field in general. I'm very grateful to have his perspective and advice. John's birdseye view of design work has been helpful to me, especially as I often get sucked into the details of a project, and he helps bring me back out to see the bigger picture. He has been supportive and intentional with his sessions with me and I look forward to the final sessions we have left.”
