ENVOY has added Josh Austin to its roaster as product design lead.
Austin joins ENVOY from Oakley, where since April, 2012, he has held the position of senior interaction designer. Over the past four years Austin also freelanced extensively as a designer and front-end developer.
During his time with Oakley, Austin was closely involved with Airwave, the brand's pioneering heads-up display goggle. As his very first project involving a connected-product, this innovative initiative introduced Josh to a daunting set of challenges.
"Representing the perfect mix of digital/mobile expertise and bottom line business thinking, Josh is the type of leader needed to advise bold clients moving forward in this rapidly changing world," commented Rommelfanger, agency partner and co-creative director.
"Josh will be leading projects clients like VIZIO, 5.11 Tactical and Amazon, all of which have a local presence, while also working on portfolio companies within Envoy Ventures, our investment and incubator initiative."
