      I had a multi-discipline role at Maxon, spanning roles of product manager, creative content designer, creative coder and user experience designer.As a product manager & creative lead for Maxon/Red Giant Universe, I visualize, design and create new products, as well as manage the talented group of individuals that make this software shine.As a content designer, I design presets, images and interface elements. To keep our library fresh, I also manage external contractors that help contribute to our diverse library of content. If you've opened any Trapcode or Universe product, you've likely used one of my 1,700+ presets.Lastly, I handle much of the tutorial creation and video production for product launches. Tutorials brought me to this industry in the first place, and I'll always be doing them!
