Creative Technologist & Product Designer based in Seattle using Webflow, LLMs and
automation to build systems and products that bridge imagination and interaction.
Hi, I'm John Tuttle — a Creative Technologist and Product Designer based in Seattle.
With over 15 years of experience spanning branding, web, motion, and emerging tech, I blend deep creative roots with future-facing tools like AI, automation, and real-time prototyping. My background bridges traditional design foundations with modern digital systems — from identity and UX design to concept development and experimental media.
I’ve led design on large-scale branding initiatives, interactive experiences, and visual storytelling projects for companies like Microsoft, Morse Best, and Virgen Advertising. My skill set ranges from hands-on execution — art direction, photo compositing, and motion graphics — to strategic concepts and prototyping across platforms.
In 2018, I founded and grew Alto Moving, a Seattle-based moving company, where I built the brand from the ground up — creating everything from the visual identity and website to the marketing systems, customer experience, and backend operations. This hands-on business experience sharpened my ability to design not just beautiful things, but functional, scalable systems — applying both design thinking and real-world problem solving to build a company that has served thousands of local residents.
In recent years, I’ve expanded into designing and building AI-integrated experiences. I work with tools like Webflow, Figma, GPT-4, ElevenLabs, and Runway to prototype digital products, automate workflows, and explore new interaction paradigms. Whether designing UI systems or building prompt-based microtools, I’m focused on pushing the boundaries of what creative technology can do.
I'm now seeking opportunities to collaborate with product teams, innovation labs, or design-forward orgs at the intersection of creativity and computation — helping shape the next generation of human-centered tools, systems, and experiences.
Outside the screen, I coach Little League, produce music in my home studio, and enjoy walks at Alki with my family.
Thanks for visiting — let’s build something remarkable.
— John
