“I recommend John highly. We worked together on a project and his contribution (on all levels) was outstanding.” Goran Vukobratovic, Project Manager, Bunge

"John is a visionary who knows how to get things done. At Bunge Global Markets, John took control over a fragmented and immature UI design process and in short order provided realistic structure and standards that could be readily applied across all applications to produce a single unified user experience that was functional, intuitive and easy to use. He took the initiative to produce the support materials needed to deploy it - including a revised style guide, fully functional prototype wire-frames, and a set of standards for UI Behaviour.He made a major contribution to the overall UI effort at BGM." Duff Bailey, Program Manager, Bunge
