From the vault
Best job I've ever had
I started designing in the early 2000s and still feel lucky to call it my job. I believe building a product is the easy part. What you do after the launch is where the real fun begins.
If you must know, I live in Los Angeles with my family. When I'm not building products, you'll find me watching an NBA game or fixing a cocktail.
