John Calhoun

I am dedicated to Design and passionate about managing People, Products, and Projects. I believe an app can be magical, a form can be fun, and that new technology should feel as familiar as an old pair of jeans. As Senior Director of Design Operations, I empower design teams to be efficient, thoughtful, and bold. I create a culture where business goals and user satisfaction intersect, where discovery and delivery are equal priorities, and where product accessibility is valued as an improvement for everyone - not just those with the highest needs. As a Producer and Game Designer, I helped ship software that connected and engaged millions of players worldwide on multiple platforms and devices.
