With over 33 million video views so far, we strive to occupy the space in the center of the triangle of ad agencies, production studios, and user-created content - at a scale appropriate for social media outlets... and we're really excited about it.

An ex-industrial designer for Steelcase, projects I lead have been featured in Dwell, Time Magazine, and on CNN. While working with Giant Ant Media, I'm also starting to build my own design practice.
