Why the name “Hatch”?
I wanted to signify that I was starting anew with a renewed vigor. Hatch: The birth of something good.

 

But, my neighbor's a "designer"...

These days, it seems like everyone’s doing graphic design, but are they doing it well? Sure, your neighbor will do your brochure for a case of Miller High Life. But, does he really know good design? Just because his new Dell came with a copy of Microsoft Publisher doesn't mean he will give you the results you're looking for. Plus, you know he’ll be drinking that beer while he’s “working”.

 

John Wurth has been been glued to a keyboard from the day his father brought home an IBM PCjr back in 1984. He became interested in design when he first saw what one of those powerful 12 Mhz jobbies with an EGA card could display. 16 Colors! Almost photo-realistic images...how far we've come.

John moved to Louisville, Kentucky in 1996 and got a job doing real graphic design on a real-live Macintosh. He has worked various graphic design and web design jobs ranging from designing / typesetting direct mail pieces, PC / Macintosh consulting, pre-press operator, Webmaster, Graphic Designer, Web Development Manager to Creative Director for a regional magazine.

His designs have been seen on products by national companies such as Domino’s Pizza, Pizza Hut, Dallas Stars (NHL team), and local businesses such as Mo Flav, Win.Net, Australian Racing, and Churchill Downs. If it can be printed, he has more than likely designed it. John is also the Creative Director for Sophisticated Living magazine, while running the day-to-day operations at Hatch HQ.

John has been doing web design since the good old days when the only available tools were a hammer and chisel on stone slates (AKA: Simpletext and NotePad). He has worked on the Kentucky State Fair 100th Anniversary site, Kentucky Fair and Expo Center’s site, the Muhammed Ali Center site, and tons of local sites, big and small.
