About me
I'm Garrett. I'm a design leader, a single dad to two brilliant boys, and someone who believes deeply that how we live and how we build are not separate things.
I came up through Apple, spent years shipping products across three continents, and founded companies. I've worked across consumer tools, entertainment, robotics, healthcare, AI, education, and platforms most teams haven't touched yet. Led teams through the kind of work that actually keeps you up at night because it matters. The thread running through all of it has been the same: make something worthy of the people it's for. Don't waste their time. Don't exploit their attention. Do the work properly.
Outside of the screen I try to stay close to what's real. I take care of my body and my mind, through movement, swimming, sauna, meditation. I've learned that how you show up physically and mentally is inseparable from how you think, lead, and create. I want to be present for my boys. I want to be sharp for the work. Those things are connected.
I lead the same way I live. With intention, with standards, and with genuine care for the people around me. I take accountability seriously. I stand up for my teams because that's what the job actually requires. I believe the best work comes from people who feel safe enough to think freely and trusted enough to take risks.
I think about the products we build the way a conscientious architect thinks about buildings: every decision has consequences for the person who has to live inside it. I want to build things that don't degrade the human spirit. Things that earn their place in people's lives.
That's what I'm here to do. That's what I've always been here to do.
