Hi there, I'm John Sullivan Hamilton (hams for short). A designer slash entrepreneur enamored with the choreography of brand, product, & service.
Warm months I'm in Brooklyn where I‘ve mostly been since 2007 aside from some short stints in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, and Boston. Cold months I'm in Miami. Grew up in southern New Hampshire equal distance to the beach, city, and lakes region in a giant family.
Like a director dabbling with different aspects of film production to hone their craft, I've spent the last twenty years exploring various flavors of the design process, for every shape and size human need.
I've designed
Web platforms, native apps, matchbooks, interfaces in public spaces, enterprise intranets, interiors, brand stories, service model blueprints, weed packaging, investor decks, digital ecosystem consolidation roadmaps, research plans, cost reduction strategies, point of sale, content production workflows...
For
Expecting mothers, bartenders that hate when you split the bill, anxious travelers, teenagers into action sports, millennials planning for kids and senior care, homeless high school students, hypebeasts, HENRYs, folks struggling to sell weed legally, aspiring piano players...
