We had the good fortune of connecting with John Paiz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi John, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Being and excellent communicator, making sure I can learn from everyone I work with and make sure they are happy

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I grew up loving art in all kinds of mediums. The one that really intrigued me was filming + editing videos to tell a story. That still transitions to what I do today. I really rely on others around me or that I work with to come up with ideas and also help in the software side of things. Also being able to get and provide feedback is always super fun.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love my city so much, there really isn’t a place I can take a friend and they won’t enjoy it. San Jose is home.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family and my friends. Without my friends hyping me up, I probably would have just kept these art things to myself. here where I live there’s a strong encouragement of just being yourself and having a creative outlet. My family of course just never said my ideas were too big, they also encourage a creative mindset.
