Bio
Susan McGann
I had the pleasure of having John on my team while leading Web Design & Learning for YP NextHome. John's passion and enthusiasm for his craft is unsurpassed. With every project, whether large or small, John offered creativity, expertise and a consistent customer focus. As a thoroughly capable UX and UI professional, John brings expertise in both the functional/technical skills required as well as the ability to lead and mentor a team of junior designers with patience and professionalism. During our time together, I observed him lead new designers through complex client scenarios resulting in both ultimate client satisfaction and the growth and development of aspiring designers. From my perspective, John is one of the most talented rising stars in this industry and any organization would be lucky to have him as part of or leading a team!
