The Apple Watch is coming, are you ready?

Welcome to our first Wearable Wednesday! We're turning a leaf over as a group and broadening our topic from just development to the whole category of wearables.

About Paul Armstrong

Paul has over 18 years of graphic design experience with brands like Subway, New Balance, Harrah’s Casino, and Facebook, and then some other brands you've never heard of nor would remember. Currently, he is the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of ChoreMonster (though he does not carry a badge), where he designs the overall brand experience on the web and all mobile platforms, helps craft words, illustrates monsters, and draws farts. Paul has been married for 18 years and has 3 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 0 hours to himself. In his spare time, he likes to make pretty photographs with a real camera, dream about fried foods, and find the playground in everything.

About Mike Sarrow

Mike is an innovator focused on building brands and products that disrupt the world as we know it and has an acute disdain for "me too" thinking. Mike is currently the CEO and Co-founder of Kapture (kaptureaudio.com) following a diverse 12 year career at Procter & Gamble (P&G) working on multiple global CPG brands like Tide, Pampers, Crest, Oral-b, Era, and Luvs. His P&G career was split between Brand Management / Marketing and Engineering. A nice spectrum from deep upstream brand innovation strategy to making and packing product on the production floor.

About Chris Hendrixson

I’m a designer and entrepreneur. I spent the first half of my career as a freelance graphic designer working exclusively in print (book covers, album covers, logos, etc), obsessing over typography and "white space." Then I got my first iPhone in 2009 and everything changed. Like many others I saw clearly that smartphones, and eventually tablets, would change our entire world in just about every way. The second half of my career has been focused on mobile design and creating my own products instead of working for clients. Now, I'm beginning an entrepreneurial journey that will shape the rest of my life. So I designed book covers, then mobile apps and now a company.
