At Essential I lead a small but hyper-capable team of designers and engineers from around the world.  We worked closely with partners on every corner of the planet to build world-class experiences and devices with an astonishingly lean in-house team.

I was the first person approached to build this incredible suite of products.  Andy Rubin, CEO of Essential & Playground and founder of Android, had an ambitious vision that required leadership from someone with a strong background in technology married to a strong design sensibility. I helped him drive concepts to ship from ID to PD to MFG, with direct responsibility for leading the industrial design and early stage architecture.
