# John W. > Design | Development | Merchandising | Sourcing Location: Capitola, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/johnw2 20 years of leading working in design and product production for premier brands. My experience has given me technical expertise of Licensing, Product Management, Design, Development, 2D/3D programs, Graphics, Packaging and Merchandising. My development skills include an “in-depth” understanding of the entire product process, from RFQ through factory hand off, quality control, price negotiation, sourcing, through ramp and sign off. My goal is to inspire teams and create a collaborative environment. Regardless of all that I have accomplished, I always remember to be humble, keep a positive attitude, be a team player and willing to listen.
