About Doug

SHIFTING PERSPECTIVES VIA INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY +

INTUITIVE PRODUCT DESIGN + STUNNING VISUALS

My name is Doug, and I am a tech co-founder and marketing executive based in Venice Beach, CA. Starting in music and entertainment, my path has evolved through technology, innovation, and marketing, always driven by the intersection of creativity and technical advancement.

My journey began in the entertainment industry before transitioning into technology and marketing, where I found my passion for building transformative products. Since a young age, I've honed a creative process that applies to virtually any challenge, cultivating a "Swiss army knife" of skills that I bring to collaborations with masters of their craft.

A defining chapter was co-founding OM (Orange Maker), where we pioneered advancements in 3D printing before the industry began to boom. We patented an “ahead of its time” innovative rotational forming process that challenged traditional layer-by-layer approaches, receiving significant industry recognition and demonstrating how fresh perspectives can transform established fields.

I expanded into new in digital platform development, and later to Sony Pictures Entertainment, where I managed partnerships with Mercedes Benz for innovative in-car entertainment experiences. Most recently, I've been developing advanced conversational AI platforms, exploring how artificial intelligence can enhance human potential.

Through my work across these diverse sectors, I aim to challenge perspectives and foster change through the spaces and technologies we create. The power of design can transform how people think and feel, opening minds to new possibilities. Working in advanced tech has heightened my curiosity about the symbiosis between art and technology - a relationship that has existed since the beginning of recorded time.

By creating advanced tools, reimagining how we build things, and innovating with new materials and interfaces, we can enhance the world around us and make necessary course corrections along the way. I want future generations to inherit a world designed with stronger foundations and greater sustainability than our current reality.

Moving forward begins with breaking free from established patterns to foster new ideas. Through my work across entertainment, technology, and artificial intelligence, I hope to contribute to propelling the world forward.

It all starts with opening people's minds to think about things differently.
