Process

  • Communities precede markets.

    Capital allocation cannot be de-risked without human-centered design.

    This phase decodes user and team decision science through NYU-certified research skills (qualitative and quantitative) and Google-certified data analysis.

    I translate behavioral science into evidence-based systems, processes, and solutions that empower organizations with the precision to build with intelligence.

  • This phase transforms behavioral intelligence into brand architecture.

    Through market research and writing skills credited in Forbes, I expose latent brand equity, close the gap between perception and reality, and engineer positioning, messaging, and promotion through a proprietary 52-week growth strategy blueprint.

    As a frontend designer skilled across HTML, CSS, and eCommerce management, I eliminate value leakage, accelerate conversion, and turn human delight into a structural advantage.

  • This phase synchronizes brand, data, and capital through storytelling, affiliate partnership infrastructure, and automation that compounds attribution into revenue:

    • System Integration: 0 to 1 behavior-led growth engineering configured to your organizational DNA, without disruption to existing workflows.

    • Node + Network Activation: A behaviorally scored affiliate network before a single dollar is committed, where every partner connects strategy to attributed sale.

    • Stewardship + Analytics: Real-time ROI and ROAS visibility through custom AI dashboards, with senior strategic guidance on a structured cadence.

About

Turning down an offer to study law at the London School of Economics, I researched social computing at NYU and graduated as an Honors Scholar.

I empower founders with research-backed context, content, and systems to delight the people they serve. My background includes launching an enterprise software product adopted by Alexander McQueen®, producing double-digit ROAS lifts for growing eCommerce brands, and improving the bottom line for SMBs through solutions engineering. My work is credited in Forbes, New Jersey Digest, UNICEF's Global Development Commons, and Washington Square News. My deepest passions in life are storytelling and music. After two years of social media silence following the unexpected loss of my father, I've returned to sharing my experiments with these mediums at @justjohaan in honor of a quote he impressed upon me ("The best is yet to come"), his limitless artistic spirit, and his gift of truthful expression that ultimately earned him a feature at the Venice Biennale.
