I'm Riley and I'm a designer. Photography is also one of my great passions. And I love to be creative.

My "growing up" took place over three different states. I was born in the midwest, moved to Texas, and landed finally in Washington, where I completed my seminal degree in industrial design at the University of Washington.

I've always been a tinkerer and a thinker, and I grew up loving the show How It's Made, Destroy Build Destroy! and Mythbusters... It was only in college that I discovered I had been a designer since before I knew what it really meant.

I love to learn, and I also love to play. I want to make delightful products that spark people's fires, creatively, professionally, consciously or unconsciously... I want to be a sponge and learn as much as I can about how to make people's lives better.

Besides design I love to draw, cook good food, make videos, play my trumpet, bake bread, listen to Dune on audiobook, take photos, develop film, play Rock Band, collect rocks, and walk my dog.
