About Sean Johnson
My name is Sean Johnson, and I’m a partner at Digital Intent in Chicago, helping dozens of startups and companies like Groupon, Follett and Sittercity build amazing products. I organize the Chicago Growth Hackers Meetup, and teach a digital marketing course at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management.
I spent five years in New York at EducationDynamics, the premier higher education marketing company in the country. Most of that time was spent as their Creative Director, where I was responsible for the aesthetic design for over 850 projects seen by over 6 million students. I also led strategy and design for a number of online applications, including a social networking site called UPeers that was used at over 200 universities.
I have written for Lifehacker, Technori, One Day One Job, Dumb Little Man and more. I have also spoken at universities around the country on career development and entreprneneurship.
Most of what I write on this site is about personal development and making the most of your professional life. I also frequently write about entrepreneurship, product development, and occasionally about topics related to faith and internal growth.
If you or your company is interested in building or growing a new web or mobile company, or if you’re interested in talking about how to take your career to the next level, I’d love to talk.
