John N. Farmer is a creative director and technologist with more than 25 years of experience creating films, music, interactive products, immersive media, and working prototypes.
My career began in video production through Blue Civilian, creating nonprofit and community-focused work through on-location shoots, editing, motion graphics, and post-production. I also worked in television production at WMBD, operating studio cameras and learning how stories are built under real deadlines.
Music has remained a constant throughout my career. I've recorded, edited, mixed, mastered, and distributed music for more than five bands and independent projects. With The Aposematics, I directed, shot, and edited music videos while helping shape the band's broader visual identity.
After studying at Illinois Central College and Bradley University, I interned at the Jump Trading Simulation and Education Center, where storytelling, design, medicine, and emerging technology began to converge.
That path led to more than a decade inside healthcare innovation, where I coded applications, built immersive experiences, created medical visualizations, prototyped inventions, and helped clinicians transform complicated problems into practical tools.
Today, I bring those disciplines together: creative direction, technology, video, music, design, and rapid prototyping. I'm most interested in work that begins with an ambitious question and ends with something people can actually see, use, hear, or experience.
Turning complicated ideas into experiences people can understand.
