Bio.
Hi, I'm Johnny from Omaha, Nebraska!
My journey into industrial design began with a love for creating by turning my ideas into something tangible and valuable. Over time, that passion evolved into a more profound interest in solving everyday problems through thoughtful, user-centered design.
What drives me the most is the human side of design: connecting with others, understanding their needs, and designing intuitive and impactful experiences. For me, interacting with others isn't just inspiring; it's essential for designing with empathy and purpose.
