John Guilyard is a multidisciplinary designer who has built a career across a diverse range of industries. Most recently, he’s lent his expertise to Google, following tenures at NBCUniversal and SAP.
John comes from humble beginnings, growing up in a small trucker town in Pennsylvania. If you ask, he’ll probably tell you he’s "from the mud." After graduating from The Pennsylvania State University with a BFA in Drawing & Painting, he relied on a mix of high self-efficacy and a relentless drive to up-skill, eventually carving out a path at some of the world’s leading companies.
He is an illustrator, designer, animator, painter, and object maker. At his core, John is simply a builder who is obsessed with learning new ways to create. When he isn’t working, he’s likely still "working" — sketching, traveling, painting, skiing, playing with his two dogs(Tatiana & Syrah), or making silly jokes with his friends & loved ones.
