Background

About John Strope

I build things—from R&D teams and strategic partnerships to animatronic gorillas. With a background in engineering, automation, and strategic development, I specialize in taking ideas from concept to launch—whether they’re rollercoasters, state-of-the-art lab spaces, or economic impact strategies—and helping teams navigate the bumps along the way. This work has taken me around the world (one full lap so far!) and has led to me becoming proficient in a variety of tools (MS Power Automate // Nvidia Isaac // Python, C++, ROS2 // Inventor+SolidWorks+Fusion360 // AdobeCC // Industrial Networking // PLC Systems). But even more importantly, each of these experiences has helped introduce new ways to solve problems, build teams, and keep learning. I thrive at the intersection of technology and strategy. My strength lies in turning conversations into collaborations and translating powerful ideas into real-world impact. I love my job and team. When not in the Studio, you’ll probably find me at a baseball game, a concert, or my art gallery. Always open to a good conversation—feel free to say hey!
