@climbingjohn • Full-stack Designer / Product Designer / Founding Designer • Salt Lake City, UT
From design to code, SEO, marketing, and more – I have 22 years of experience with a unique blend of technical expertise, design acumen, and resourcefulness. During my contracting career, I’ve helped over 300 companies, from startups to Fortune 500s, achieve their goals. I’ve worked as a full-time Product Designer for multiple successful startups. In addition, I’ve built and sold several innovative small businesses over the years. For the past 2 year I’ve been focused on scaling my 6-Figure Amazon business, developing a SaaS Store Locator Platform, and AI Photo Restoration business.
Thalamus I was the sole designer and created four applications: Core Scheduler, Custom Video Meetings, Application Screening, and an an Itinerary Builder. Along with marketing websites, email designs, conference materials, and investor presentations – contributing to a successful investor raise.
The sole designer, I worked with the founders to build the marketing website, trust creation app, design system, and marketing materials. We simplified trust creation, transforming a complex, lawyer-driven process into a quick, mobile phone solution with digital signing and in-platform notary scheduling.
At LSQ, I was one of 4 designers. I was brought on to manage the Seller side of the platform and help launch new design initiatives in the industry that lead to their growth. I lead the project to convert the companies design system from Sketch to Figma and scale the components.
