MaxonSenior Product Manager, Design Manager, Content Lead
Jan. 2020 - Dec. 2021Portland, Oregon, United States · HybridI had a multi-disciplinary role at Maxon (a part of the Red Giant acquisition), spanning the positions of product manager, creative content designer, creative coder, and user experience designer. My journey at Red Giant began as a product specialist, where I created entertaining and informative motion graphics and VFX content for 3D particle systems. Eventually, I transitioned to working as a product designer for Red Giant Universe, which was a brand new product at that time. Later on, I took on the role of a product manager, designer, and creative lead for Red Giant Universe. In this capacity, I visualized, designed, and created new products while managing a talented group of individuals who made significant contributions to the success of this software. Throughout my time with Universe, it underwent a remarkable transformation, evolving from an underperforming suite to become the single highest-grossing product within Red Giant. I was deeply involved in all aspects of its development, including engineering, product marketing, user experience, preset design, and more.
