About
JohN REES
A deep generalist and creative thinker, studying at Stanford University.
I am half German, half Brazilian, and grew up in Dubai. I fell in love with storytelling playing with LEGO stop-motion animation at seven years old, and since then have had the honor of winning film festivals, running my own videography business, and working with some incredible brands listed below.
My
EXPERTISE

Develop user-centered designs and prototypes that distill complex ideas into clear, impactful visuals and experiences.
Product Strategy
Translate user insights and market needs into actionable strategies, aligning creativity with business goals.
Leadership & Project Execution
With the click of a shutter, an image is imprinted that tells a story or makes a wonderful statement.
Cultural Collaboration & Synergy
Connect and communicate across cultures with fluency in four languages. Skilled in building cohesive teams and leading projects by leveraging a rich multicultural perspective.
Motivation
I am driven by a profound passion for understanding people and inspiring positive change. My journey in ethnography, behavioral economics, and documentary filmmaking is an exploration into the human condition and a pursuit to create art that heals.
Through this pursuit, I live with the user in their experience, and am subsequently able to craft brands, products, and stories that resonate on a deep, emotional level. As a leader and collaborator, I am committed to producing such profound experiences globally.
