You clicked… so, welcome, I'm Max!
I help companies turn products and ideas into brands and experiences people actually remember and choose.
I run Giant Particle, my design studio for product & brand work. I'm also building Overslide, a presentation design agency for startups (completely in public btw).
For the past 20 years, I've worked in and with startups and established brands across the US and Europe.
My motto: move fast, deliver results, maintain standards.

On a personal note:
I'm a coffee addict (you know, the kind who owns too many brewing devices and still ends up drinking a flat white).
I take pictures of watches in my spare time (yes, that's a real hobby and unfortunately, I own most of what I photograph... I kid myself it's collecting, not an obsession).
I pretend cycling & swimming are for fitness, but they're really about justifying the coffee and bubbles consumption (note to self: actually start running before pretending a triathlon is in your future... lazy ass).
Dog dad to a dachshund who has no idea what I do for a living (but fully supports my career choices… at least as long as treats are involved, lots of them).
I'm the "glass is refillable" type of guy (especially when it's a Glencairn… if you know, you know).
