I'm John Lloyd. I build and lead enterprise design teams.
My workdays unfold at Hilton where I focus on digital product design. I also love to take on the occasional freelance creative project.
Nexus
The following works are the collaborative efforts of nearly a hundred individual designers converged into the teams I've built and led. As the architect of our design practice. I've delivered my fair share of work along the way but my largest contribution has been designing design teams.

Dysly reader
Dysly is a free chrome extension that includes features to help people with dyslexia read and work on the internet with minimal disruption to intended content and designs. The goal is to help kids and adults with any learning disability or reading fluency gain confidence, improve the overall experience of reading online, work with minimal disruption, and customize their own digital preferences.
I designed and developed this app as a solo project.
