John M. Leary
The personification of “eclectic”, John is an illustrator, pianist, gardener, vegetarian – and life-long Disney fanatic. Whether he’s picking up a new design program, playing piano by ear, planting a new garden bed, or finding out how many stones make up Disney World's Cinderella's Castle, John simply loves learning and believes it’s the best road to creativity.
John has over a decade of experience and a broad skill set in interactive media, graphic design and related creative services. Possessing a thirst for knowledge that keeps him at the leading edge of technologies and applications, John is as resourceful as he is creative, producing innovative results from unexpected sources. A self-professed “neatnik”, John’s known for his extraordinary organizational flair, whether he’s developing web site architecture or organizing his collection of View-Master reels.
