Hi there! I'm Ethan, and I'm passionate about using design to create meaningful impact.
Born and raised in New York, I now call the gorgeous city of Vancouver, Canada my home. With over seven years of experience in design, production, and management, I'm a pro at developing and launching metaverse products at scale that truly make a difference.
I started my design journey in environmental design, using evidence-based principles to create spaces that people love. I saw the limitless potential of the metaverse to revolutionize the way we experience the world, and that's why I pivoted to developing tools for designers to create directly within immersive 3D environments.
For the past five years, I've been a Designer at Microsoft, using mixed reality to enhance the productivity of first-line workers on HoloLens. I've worn many hats at Microsoft, from designer to user researcher, prototyper to customer liaison, and even diversity and inclusion facilitator and scrum master.
When I'm not designing, you can find me hitting the slopes for some snowboarding, hiking in the mountains, or cuddling up with my furry best friend, Milo the golden doodle. I truly believe that design has the power to change the world, and I'm eager to use my skills to make a difference. Let's build something incredible together.
