About me

Hello, my name is John "Tito" Nguyen. I am a 20+ year creative veteran who resides in Seattle, Washington and currently working for Microsoft.

I am a video content creative who enjoys explaining complex products with beautiful visuals and narrative arcs through film and video.

My career began in 1998 in Chicago producing commercials for house-hold brand names. (Nike, McDonalds, Nintendo, Budweiser, Toyota etc)

The sunny weather in Los Angeles was too hard to resist after 4 years of cold weather living in Chicago. I moved to Los Angeles and lived there for 12 years and produced many award winning commercials, brand identity projects, film main titles, episodic work, and interactive projects. I worked for shops like Imaginary Forces, Brand New School, National Television, Superfad, and Method during that time.

I joined Apple in 2014 and began my tech world product launch career. I had the pleasure of collaborating with many talented folks there to launch the Macbook, iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, iPhone 7, Macbook Pro, and the new iMac. These projects ranged from product launch films, retail digital signage, and social media videos to help educate and inform Apple customers.

I left Apple in 2017 to join Microsoft’s innovative HoloLens division where I began a journey of collaborating with the hardware, software, marketing, social, and PR teams. We successfully launched HoloLens 2 on Feb 29th, of 2019 with a wide variety of visual assets (reveal film, booth content, social media, and keynote) that helped inform and educate the public of HoloLens 2’s new product features and MR platform in the Azure cloud.
