I'm John, a designer, artist, typophile, brand strategist, last-minute marathoner, and general lover of life.
I am John Hatherly, a Texas-born Chicagoan.
I've had an interesting life so far, and there's not much I'd change, given the chance. I've lived in 5 states, played an 8 hour tennis match, kicked a shark while surfing, played a perfect game of pool, saved 2 people's lives (not at the same time), studied Mathematics & Economics at Loyola University-Chicago, ran a marathon without training, co-fronted a hip hop group, and unknowingly played "Marco Polo" with a cop. In my defense, my eyes were closed... I've spent countless hours in museums, restaurants, lectures & bars . I've seen many sunsets... and sunrises. The point of all this? I don't believe good work happens in a vacuum. Design is not a nine-to-five job, it is my window to the world. My work is the sum of my experiences, observations & reflections, laid out in a plea for wonderment.
I'm currently working on my first exhibition titled, "IAMI", an investigation of the relationship between gender and color theory, and am always open to discussing new projects.
Work Terms
My normal business hours are 9am-5pm, Monday-Friday. Nevertheless, I remain flexible given the nature of my work and industry. I prefer to communicate mainly through email, unless you have a carrier pigeon...
