Justin is a Sr. Director of design and experiences at Apple with a last name that is hard to pronounce. He comes from the suburban woods of Connecticut and while at the Massachusetts College of Art & Design, he acquired a fondness for simple design and technology. In defiance of art school norms, he played lacrosse for Emerson College for three seasons. After-which he migrated to New York City where he learned the ropes at various well-known digital ad shops such as AKQA and Critical Mass.
Having had enough of East Coast winters he sought out the warmer weather in Northern California where his passion for the outdoors and design were met. He also found a calling to service by joining the Bay Area Mountain Rescue Unit as well as the California State Guard, which have instilled in him a strong sense of leadership, integrity, and selflessness. While he has completely embraced the West Coast he still enjoys a good lobster roll and will slip in a “wicked” every now and again.
