ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm David John
When I graduated from kindergarten, my teacher gave me the Outstanding Work with Scissors Award. After all these years, I finally understand what my kindergarten teacher saw in me: I love to create.
Part of my creativity comes with the way I see the world. I am dyslexic, meaning that my brain has a bias towards images. For example, I often think about tasks that need to be done in images rather than words. As a kid, I used to think my dyslexia was a curse. I had a hard time learning to read, and I struggle with spelling to this day. But I now see dyslexia as a blessing. Because I am dyslexic, I can employ the medium of video in a unique way.
My goal in advertising is to create visual content powerful enough that if the copy or dialogue were to be removed, the message would still come across.
I hope you enjoy my work.
