John Mahood is the founder, President and Creative Director of Imagebox. With the fall of the dot coms and large creative agencies, he saw an opportunity to create a small firm capable of providing marketing design solutions across a wide-range of media for start-up and mid-sized companies that no longer have multi-million dollar marketing budgets.

Though John began his first company (Q Graphics) in 1991, his experience over the last five years has been primarily with technology companies in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area.

Previously he was Media Architect at Allin Corporation, an e-business and technology infrastructure solution provider. While there he did graphic, interface and Web design for companies such as Wabtec Corporation and Carnival Cruise Lines.

Prior to Allin, John was Creative Director at Michael James & Company, a public relations firm servicing the technology community. There he was able to provide marketing design work for a variety of technology companies primarily in Pittsburgh.

John began his career as a student of design, art, architecture and film at the University of Pittsburgh.
