In the last five years, he’s steadily increased his output of logos, product, and website design. From revamping Dish Catering’s logo and website to creating hundreds of designs for TeePublic and RedBubble to an artful invitation to his wedding, John is constantly creating and improving his skills as a graphic artist.

bartending

John’s bartending adventure began during the Covid pandemic when he taught himself how to properly stir a cocktail with a bar spoon. He then began bartending for Dish Catering, and recently Good Gracious Events. John’s favorite aspect of tending bar is interacting with guests to insure they have a great time as well as fantastic drinks.
