As a kid, drawing wasn't just a pastime—it was my passion. I remember being that curious little guy, doodling away and daydreaming about the world around me. My earliest memories are of doodling on paper, letting my imagination run wild. I was a curious child, always dissecting how things functioned and pondering how they could be enhanced. One vivid memory from when I was eight involves the headlights and taillights of my parent's classic 1970 Impala. To me, those lights weren't just parts of a car; they symbolized potential. I believed that refining just those two aspects could transform the whole feeling of the vehicle.
From those humble beginnings to now, it's been one incredible ride. Nestled in the heart of North Idaho's beauty, I've found my calling as the Lead Product Designer at Angel Studios. It's more than just a job; it's a place where I get to share my passion, work with a fantastic team, and together, make products that people love. We're all about connecting with users, understanding their needs, and adding that special touch. It's not just about design; it's about building a community, growing together, and yes, always aiming for those 'headlights' moments that can transform everything.
My design journey has deep roots in the tech world. I started off exploring the technological landscapes of giants like IBM, Microsoft, and Xbox. But by 2006, a new passion was calling: I plunged headfirst into the world of design. As I delved deeper, I stumbled upon the fascinating realm of User Experience Design, and it was a game-changer. The more I immersed myself, the more I realized this was where I truly belonged. Now, with the wisdom of those tech giants and the passion for design, I lead by example, collaborating with a stellar team as we break new ground in the entertainment industry.
As tech keeps advancing, I'm eager to dive into areas like Voice User Interfaces, Machine Learning, spatial design, and Augmented Reality. I'm excited to see how design can take the lead in shaping the next wave of innovations.
I'm always happy to talk about design. If you have a question or want to reach out for some other reasons, reach out.
