The Boothster Team

John-Paull Davidson – Founder, Creative Director

Boothster is the brainchild of John-Paull Davidson. A 16 year veteran designer and business developer in Creative Services, his roots in sustainable design run deep. As a child, is mother wouldn’t buy him ostentatious, plastic Star Wars toys, but instead had him design his own space ships out of green materials such as cardboard, paper and rope. He’s been playing with eco friendly design ever since.

Once in a while, John-Paull clears his mind of design related thought by relaxing with yoga, watching Mad Men, or dreaming about getting back into DJ’ing.

Favorite green material: Anything that looks cool and is biodegradable and non toxic

Hayden Thompson – Client Services Manager

Self proclaimed Manager of Chaos, Hayden Thompson keeps said chaos to a minimum while staying cool, calm and collected. Hayden keeps Boothster’s clients, designers and builders on the same page from the beginning to the end of every project. Hayden’s dream has always been to work for a business focused on positive environmental impact.

Always with a bike by his side, Hayden enjoys a ride across the city and, once in a while, across the state.

Favorite green material: Renewable bamboo plywood

Dan Lococo – 3D Design, Fabrication

Dan Lococo has seen and designed it all, from supermarkets to million dollar homes. We’re so glad he’s added green tradeshow booths to his repertoire. Dan’s ecological design principals are the foundation of the Boothster design concept and he strives to keep it green down to the minute details.

Dan is the proud owner of two hybrid vehicles (that he converted himself) that run on biofuel and vegetable oil waste collected from local restaurants. So go ahead, order the fries, you’re helping Dan get to work on time.

Favorite green material: 100% recyclable, indefinitely versatile cardboard tubes

Jason Piper – Graphic Design Manager

Jason Piper can usually be found in Boothster’s printing studio, dreaming up graphic experiences for eco-friendly booths. Jason couldn’t imagine working anywhere else because he digs Boothster’s unique collaborative creative atmosphere. An avid board-sports enthusiast, Jason draws artistic inspiration from the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and from designers such as Alvar Aalto, Frank Gehry and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Outside of Boothster Jason is a hardworking hops farmer and crafts a killer homebrew.

Favorite green material: 100% recyclable eco-board

Freddy Weigle – Design/Fabrication Manager

The newest member of the Boothster team, Freddy Weigle was traveling the world as a cameraman until he dove into industrial design at the Art Institute of Portland. His passion for sustainable design attracted him to Boothster and he’s psyched to be part of the team.

When he’s not wearing his design hat Freddy is snowboarding the slopes of Mt. Hood and skating (weather permitting).

Favorite green material: Eco-mount honey-based adhesive
