John is a talented art director. He has the ability and experience needed to develop concepts straight from brief, and he can work ideas through many channels. He is professional, very productive, and a pleasure to work with.

We’ve worked a lot with John, in Chemistry, and enjoy his talents as an art director, his eye on up and coming tech and his friendly can-do approach to any projects through the line. John’s one of those creatives that rises to the challenge whether it be coming up with big ideas, concepts, art direction, design, tech research, storyboarding, retouching or scriptwriting relevant to the task at hand. An exceptionally nice fellow to boot! I look forward to working with John again in the future.

Creative Director BBDO Dublin

John is a fantastic creative. Although an Art Director by profession, he’s perfectly able to conjure up a concept and write copy, as well as art directing. He has the very rare ability to work right across the communications mix: with a ‘traditional’ agency background, he honed his craft in above-the-line agencies before moving fully into the digital agency world, where he deepened his skills in digital and social and developed a love for tech and innovation. On top of all that, he has a superb work ethic and is an exceptionally nice bloke.

John is a rare breed. Passionate, detailed and a very smart thinker. I had the pleasure to work with John and witness his superior creative skills at work. He was highly respected for his creative and digital aptitude and was in high demand for collaborations. All this with no ego and a personality that brings life to the office environment. Miss working with this guy (“anyone for a brew?”) I hope to do so again in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with John. I found John to be a most committed and diligent art-director throughout this time. His talent, passion and experience was reflected in each job he undertook. He was genuinely as comfortable working in traditional media as he was in digital, a rarity in the business. I would have no hesitation recommending him. He in addition to this, he makes a mighty fine cup of tea and has the ability to discuss football at length. In short, every agency could do with someone of John’s ilk.

John is such a talented Art Director and I had the pleasure of working with him for 6 years in ICAN. John would have been more than happy to answer any questions I may have had and always provided useful feedback in order to produce the best output in any project. He is a creative thinker and brings creative ideas to life whether it be in traditional or digital advertising. He isn’t afraid to extend his already wealth of knowledge with new emerging technologies to push the creative boundaries. He has worked on many award winning campaigns and simply looking at his work, it’s easy to see why. Not only is John an extraordinarily skilled Art Director, but he would be a great asset to any team and is a great mentor.
