Tell us about your role.
I’m in charge of working on new features and improvements for our current iOS & macOS applications, our new cross-platform LIQUID technology, and helping to develop Luna and Astropad for Windows.
What’s your favorite thing about the work you do?
I work on really cool applications that empower creative people. I’m focused on coming up with new ideas to further improve them – which is exciting.
What’s your workspace like?
I primarily work from home and have a sit/stand desk that I can easily switch between the two. I also have an ultra-wide monitor that’s almost like having 2 screens and facilitates switching the screen, keyboard, mouse, headset, and camera between 2 different computers.
Walk us through your daily routine.
I get up around 7:30 am, feed the dog and 3 cats (and then myself), then settle into starting my work by checking email, Slack, and then dig into some code.
Rylie 
Qwerty 
Hemingway 
Van Gogh & Jeremy
Tell us about your pets!
Rylie is my brindle colored boxer who thinks she’s people and a 66 lb. lap dog. Qwerty is the queen calico cat of the house who loves evening purrs on my chest or a pillow. Hemingway the spunky tabby who adores belly rubs. Van Gogh the shy long & white cat who loves mostly me, especially climbing on me when I’m in a meeting.
What tools do you use to stay productive?
I use Alfred to easily open apps not in my Dock and for other useful shortcuts. Magnet is great to easily customize the layout of my windows. I also use iStat Menus to keep track of my computer’s performance.
What do you do when you’re in a creative rut?
Take a walk or a shower…generally step away and just ponder things for a while. Some of my hobbies outside of work are playing video games, hiking, kayaking, and woodworking.
