Ethan has been designing products, graphics, and interactive experiences for a wide variety of clients for over a decade. While working towards his degree in Industrial Design with a focus on Sustainable Design, Ethan had the chance to work directly with designers and top brass at a diverse array of companies, including Proctor & Gamble, Medtronic, Fluke, Outdoor Research, Tabar, and Montrail. After graduating, he accepted a position working with the design team at clothier Nau, then just a burgeoning start-up operating on a dream, where he assisted with all parts of the design process and led design and development for the company's initial launch of bags, belts, gloves, and hats. An interest in appropriate technologies for the developing world led Ethan to Nepal for six months in 2009 to work with and learn from a small but effective NGO located there, Foundation for Sustainable Technologies. Now he contracts with corporations, non-profits, and start-ups utilizing a robust toolkit including project management, experience design, industrial design, graphic design, marketing, web development, photography, and writing.

When not designing, Ethan keeps busy exploring the rivers, creeks, coastlines, ridgelines and snowy slopes of the world. He recently completed an expedition to explore the rivers and salmon of Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, and tackled many tasks related to this expedition: ecology researcher, web developer, web content and marketing manager, director of photography, and writer. Check out the expedition at kamchatkaproject.org.
