About

Hello, I’m Johnny Saraiva. I live in Connecticut.

I love dogs, gardening, and solving problems.

​

In my 11+ years of experience I’ve noticed that some of the most creative ideas and insightful observations come out of exploring the unknown. I want to bring that sense of adventure to every project.
