Hi, friend! I’m John LeMasney, and I’d like to help you.
I build bridges between complex systems and human beings.
For over 25 years, I have lived and worked at the intersection of technology, design, and physical making. Whether configuring a secure server, teaching university faculty how to leverage digital tools, or operating a CNC mill to fabricate industrial signage, my work is driven by a single mission: to empower individuals to use tools in creative, innovative, and sustainable ways.
I call myself a Tactile Technologist because I believe that the problem-solving required to write clean code, design a user experience, or perfectly join a piece of wood comes from the exact same place of focus, geometry, and design thinking.
For over 20 years, I have offered dedicated consulting services focusing on technology, design, communication, and branding for academia, enterprise clients, libraries, and consumers.
My professional foundation in technology training is highlighted by my past roles as the Manager of Educational Technology Training and Outreach at Princeton University and the Manager of Technology Training at Rider University, where I was responsible for instructing faculty and students on the effective use of technology.
In addition to teaching within Rider University’s Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership program, I have a deep history of community instruction, teaching at venues like the Princeton Public Library, Princeton Adult School, Library Link NJ, and the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library.
I deliver highly customized presentations and hands-on workshops that range from concise one-hour sessions to comprehensive full-day events.
These presentations are designed to empower users, covering a broad spectrum of topics including Google services, graphic design principles, personal and organizational branding, and the practical application of essential open-source software like WordPress, Inkscape, Linux, and GIMP.
Ultimately, my instructional work merges my strategic background in organizational leadership with my creative training, translating complex digital skills into accessible knowledge that helps people enhance their productivity and improve their lives.
