My Story<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1744053346865{padding-right: 10% !important;}” text_direction=”default”]\n

Hey, I\u2019m John Davis\u2014a 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\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n

Before design, I spent \u201ca previous life\u201d in the world of soccer, where I learned the value of discipline, hard work, teamwork, and adaptability\u2014skills 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\u2014I believe that truly understanding people is the key to creating meaningful solutions.<\/p>\n

Fueled by a love for technology, I\u2019m constantly curious about new tools, trends, and innovations that push the boundaries of what\u2019s possible. I\u2019ve done this for all the clients I\u2019ve 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\u2019ve grown comfortable navigating every stage of the design process\u2014from strategy to pixel-perfect execution\u2014and always as a collaborative, team-first contributor.<\/p>\n

My mission is to create innovative experiences that are thoughtful, useful, and beautifully crafted\u2014experiences that not only add value to businesses but also improve people\u2019s lives in meaningful ways.<\/p>\n

When I’m off the clock, you\u2019ll probably catch me with my family, at the gym, watering plants I swear I don\u2019t keep buying, or watching one of my seemingly way too many sports teams play.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s create something awesome together.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top-bottom” constrain_group_1=”yes” top_margin_phone=”6%” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”slight-fade-in-from-bottom” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1569347220775{margin-bottom: 10px !important;padding-right: 10% !important;}”]\n
