A photo shoot at the house I designed on the Pacific Coast of Mexico.
In 2017, I returned to my creative roots with PEPONI and set out to discover America, who we are. PEPONI is a company that engages storytelling, design, photography and film. Telling stories about ideas, places, communities, country, and people
I have traveled extensively off the beaten path. A love of beaches influenced many destinations and led to my creating Chachalaka on the Costalegre of Mexico. I designed and built a contemporary, minimalist house, Casa J, that has been recognized for its architecture. Starting in 2017 I began traveling in America to better understand my country, having conversations with people I would meet and taking photos and video of the people and places across the United States. It is a project I call "An American Mosaic" and is the subject of a book BOOM! dropping spring 2024. - John Van Dyke, storyteller
