Business Development
John studied hospitality and marketing at Ole Miss, where he built a strong foundation in people, brands, and experiences, basically learning how to make sure everyone has a good time and knows why they’re there. He began his career in New York working with event and experiential design firms, helping brands show up in ways people would actually remember.As VP of Business Development at southtwelfth, John leads new business efforts, builds relationships, and connects the studio with brands ready to grow.

His background in hospitality, marketing, and experiential design gives him a people-first approach to business development, less hard sell, more good conversation, smart opportunities, and knowing when there’s a real fit.
