A particular strength of John's is working with prototyping tools. I've seen him learn multiple tools and figure out how to use them in innovative ways that give his interactive prototypes a lot of flexibility. He's generous in sharing his knowledge with others of us using the same tools. John and I co-taught a seminar on the Flex prototyping tool, and I was very impressed with the depth of knowledge that he shared with our class. John is a great asset to a user experience organization."
