John worked as a commercial logo designer through the 1980s in Philadelphia and New York City. He is now a professor of typography and corporate identity at Drexel University in Philadelphia. He continues to do work on ambigrams, as well as paintings and fine arts works that incorporate language, type and philosophy.
