Wyrd Design Studios was founded by designer, artist and craftsman John Vogt as an outlet for his many creative talents and skills. Being a modern day renaissance man, John has spent his life in a variety of creative endeavors and needed a place where he could put all of his "eggs" in one basket. Thus, Wyrd Design Studios was born. In its infancy, WDS was just John's baby, but as the size of the productions grew, so did the needs of Wyrd Design's resources. So calling upon creative friends and collaborators of all mediums, Wyrd Design Studios has grown into the artistic collective it is today

Upon founding the studio, John went on to be the Production Designer for the Radius 5 Films production of The River of Copsa Mica, where he worked closely with writer/director Ryan Uzilevski in creating the characters, costumes, sets and props for the film. Since then, Radius 5 has made him a member of their ground-breaking production  company and all look forward to future creative collaborations.

Another one of the many films John has worked on was Javier Perez-Kadam's indie sci-fi short "Thou Shall Not Dream" where he was a set designer/builder and helped to create the dark, Gilliam-esque feel to the film.

He has also designed and built sets for theater groups such as the P-Cult and the Vangeline Theater. One of his sets, P-Cult's "Amazona" production, is currently touring the USA under sponsorship from Dos Equis Beer.

John also works as a freelance set carpenter in the corporate and fashion world for such companies as Bestek Lighting & Staging and Kadan Productions. Some of the sets he has worked on include high fashion moguls Hermes, Tommy Hilfiger, John Varvatos, Karl Lagerfeld, Louis Vuitton, Zanga, Baby Phat, Derek Lam, and 2006's final episode of Project Runaway which was filmed during Fashion Week at Bryant Park

John is a member of 3rd Ward  and all of Wyrd Design's builds are done at their facilities in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn
