About

Hey, I’m John Davis—a versatile product designer with a background in product, marketing, branding, and photography; a deep love for technology; and a lifelong passion for creating and problem-solving. I’m driven by the challenge of turning complex ideas into simple, intuitive, and impactful digital experiences. I live in Atlanta but have worked remote the better part of the last 20 years.
Before design, I spent “a previous life” in the world of soccer, where I learned the value of discipline, hard work, teamwork, and adaptability—skills I now bring to every project I take on. My foundation in marketing and branding gives me a unique lens: I approach design not just from a usability standpoint, but with a strategic eye on how products connect with people and stand out in the market. Photography has sharpened my eye for detail and storytelling, while empathy remains at the core of my process—I believe that truly understanding people is the key to creating meaningful solutions.
Fueled by a love for technology, I’m constantly curious about new tools, trends, and innovations that push the boundaries of what’s possible. I’ve done this for all the clients I’ve had the privilege of working with, ranging from startups to global brands like 20th Century Studios, Coca-Cola, Home Depot, NBC Sports, Plex, Puma, UPS, Verizon, and many more. Throughout my career, I’ve grown comfortable navigating every stage of the design process—from strategy to pixel-perfect execution—and always as a collaborative, team-first contributor.
My mission is to create innovative experiences that are thoughtful, useful, and beautifully crafted—experiences that not only add value to businesses but also improve people’s lives in meaningful ways.
When I’m off the clock, you’ll probably catch me with my family, at the gym, watering plants I swear I don’t keep buying, or watching one of my seemingly way too many sports teams play.
Let’s create something awesome together.
