John Wright-Nyingifa

I lead Design Engineering at Potter, building Box, commerce and financial infrastructure for institutions, businesses and shoppers. Previously, I led design at Mobi Automation, working on blockchain products and autonomous systems.

I enjoy building tactile interfaces. My work has earned multiple awards across hackathons and infrastructure design. I also lose far too much sleep to experiments and silly little side quests.

Rituals
Rituals turns the things you keep meaning to do into something you do together, one check-in at a time.

The projects above are where I act, and these pieces are where I think, each one starting from a book or an idea outside design, such as why blurring a photo is closely related to heat spreading through metal or how a plant grows from a single rule, and ending with what I take from it for building products.

That matters more now that AI sits between people and software, because the questions are shifting from how a screen looks to how a system behaves.
