I'm Austin, a self taught multi-disciplinary Design Director currently located in Montana.
My journey began in the world of motorcycle racing, where I competed in national and world championships, ultimately winning an American Pro National Championship. During my racing career, I had the privilege of working with amazing brands that ignited my passion for design. As my racing days came to an end, I decided to channel all my energy and passion into design.
With the same determination that fueled my racing career, I started learning design on my own, taking on unpaid work and internships to improve my skills. I began with branding and gradually expanded into various design disciplines (including FE Dev), eventually finding my way into the world of product design. Today, I lead teams and have a deep appreciation for inspiring and empowering fellow designers to do their best work. I encourage them to take risks, share knowledge, and embrace creativity.
