As Associate Director, I led the design vision for the iZotope and Native Instruments product ecosystems, setting the creative North Star and the quality bar for every interface and interaction.
I empowered my team of designers and researchers to own execution, while personally directing the artistic trajectory of our products: mentoring through complex UI challenges and directing all product launch photography. Every pixel had to serve our roadmap and C-suite objectives.
RX
RX is the industry standard for audio repair, honored with two Engineering Emmy Awards and trusted across film, television, and music. From dialogue isolation to spectral repair, it gives post-production teams the precision to fix the unfixable and the confidence to release with total peace of mind.
Ozone
A trailblazer in mastering for nearly 25 years, Ozone is the mix-bus mainstay for GRAMMY-winning engineers worldwide. It pairs deep, precise control with AI-assisted mastering, so every track reaches its full potential, whether you're mastering your first release or your five-hundredth.
Neutron
Neutron's AI-powered Mix Assistant listens to a session and resolves conflicts between competing frequencies, so a mix comes together fast without cutting corners on quality. It hands the technical heavy lifting to the software, freeing the engineer to focus on the creative decisions that actually matter.
Nectar
Nectar is a complete vocal production suite trusted by engineers like Dave Pensado and Tony Maserati to land an inspired vocal sound faster than anything else out there. Vocal Assistant offers a confident starting point in seconds, while a full suite of vocal-specific modules gives professionals the control to dial in every last detail.
Trash
Trash trades precision for possibility, an intuitively designed distortion and mangling plugin built for experimentation. With hundreds of distortion types and impulse responses on tap, it's a tool for embracing imperfection and finding the iconic sound hiding inside the chaos.
So Much More
Beyond RX, Ozone, Neutron, Nectar, and Trash, the catalog spans dozens more plugins, hardware synths, sample libraries, and creative tools built for musicians, producers, and sound designers of every stripe. Yeah, we made a sh*tload of stuff. It was all great.
