JOHN BALBOA

“John’s energy and knowledge of all things UX/UI, front-end development, graphics, and video have been a great asset to National Park Express. His versatility in a variety of different platforms and technologies enables him to be of assistance in many areas. In addition, his empathy and willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty to help out coworkers and do everything possible to ensure project success set him apart. I’ve truly enjoyed getting to know and working with John.”

“I’ve had the pleasure to know John a couple of years now, so I can confidently say that he is one of the most talented and kind-hearted individuals I’ve known. He is such a multi-faceted creative, and has succeeded in his roles as a Product Designer, Developer, and even Dancer! We’ve spent a lot of time discussing different ways of leveling up and how to best approach a wide variety of business problems. I admire his focus on being solutions-oriented and seeing his Design, Programming, and Communication skills as merely tools to reach the most effective outcome. If you ever have the opportunity to work with John, you’ll find him as a core member of whatever team he’s a part of.”

“John is a trusted source for all things visual design. John also has a ton of experience and expertise in many visual design-related sciences, some of which include interface design, task flow analysis, and design, and prototype creation. I was lucky enough to meet John through our local (Las Vegas) UX/UI meetup and worked with him on two hackathon/startup events. If you’ve ever participated in events similar to these you would know how stressful and exhausting they can be, so when I say John was a pleasure to work with it really goes a long way. He’s taught me quite a bit and I only hope we get the chance to work together again someday.”

“I’m delighted with the website John created for me. I needed a site that would act as a portfolio for some of my costume design work, and John perfectly understood my vision. He assembled a site that appears luxurious and also works simply and efficiently.  It’s exactly what I need.  He’s a top-notch designer who’s easy (and fun!) to work with. I highly recommend him.”

“John is a deep thinker and a problem solver. He seeks to understand a problem in order to figure out the best solutions for the end user. He has a strong understanding of the UX process. Trust John to do what’s right and deliver the best solution possible.”
