John is a creative problem-solver and a thoughtful visionary whose interests and experience go way beyond Being Design’s deliverables. This makes him an ideal adviser and vendor to ventures like ours, which have to balance high ideals regarding the human condition with practical solutions in the actual world in which we operate. John is humble and not self-promoting. He takes my deadlines seriously, looks for the most elegant solution, and is as cost-conscious as if he were on my own staff. In fact, that’s exactly how I consider him when we’re working on a project: part of my team.
