John began exploring art and design in high school but never pursued it seriously until a few years ago. After Returning to Sheridan College as a mature student, an instructor suggested applying to the Bachelor of Design program at York. Now nearing the end of his journey at YSDN he is excited to take on the next challenge. As a designer, John approaches every design problem as a learning opportunity. His design balances functionality with creating a memorable experience for the audience. John’s strengths are in storytelling, combining typography and illustrations.
