Hey, I'm Max!
I've been designing products for two decades now (yes, I'm that old). Worked with big brands, startups, and everything in between. Some projects were amazing, others were... let's call them "learning experiences" that required a few drinks to process.
Currently playing Principal at Giant Particle, where I stay hands-on with the craft (because I still love typography). I also split my time helping startups with their design and product challenges, or in fancy terms, fractional and advisory roles.

On a more 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).
