John's design philosophy is simple: Tools and products should be an extension of the body, requiring no conscious articulation or thought to use. These tools must also inspire us through their carefully crafted forms and surfaces. John's passion is to give people the intuitive and beautiful physical objects they need in order to achieve mastery in whatever activity they engage in.
