"You couldn't ask for a better mentor than John. He has this way of finding little gems in your creative process and really aims to give those nuances more layers, more color, and more meaning. He also has this remarkable way of encouraging you to take creative risks, but always values your thoughts and your voice. All that and he's just an overall great guy. Love the work we've done, but more important the relationship we have forged thanks to Joey and this program." - Scott C.
