Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJohn Robb is a freelance experience designer based in Berlin with a decade of practice blending service design, UX/UI, and community-driven documentation for developer tools like React Flow. He designs playful, immersive gatherings and puzzle-driven experiences—co-founding a narrative city-wide puzzle quest—and brings that facilitation-first mindset to workshops, research, and product documentation. His background spans UX research at Google and enterprise service design at Kaiser X Labs, giving him both rigor in user testing and practical delivery in complex domains like insurance. Active in open-source community and docs for React Flow, he pairs light front-end coding with content strategy to make technical interfaces and guides more usable and welcoming. Notably, he budgets equitable event models and builds experiences that prioritize inclusion, presence, and meaningful social connection.
