Founder And Ceo
CurrentPeak Design began as a company based around an innovative product called the Capture Camera Clip...a mechanism designed to allow photographers to rigidly mount a camera to any belt or strap, allowing for hands free accessibility.The original idea was born on Kickstarter, becoming the second most funded project of all time back in 2011. Today, Peak Design is a major player in the world of photographic accessories and bag design, having cemented our place as the creators of innovative, intelligent, and useful products. Our growth has been fueled by a continued reliance on Kickstarter as a product launching platform. Our eight campaigns have raised over $20m in funding, and our position in retail and direct markets is strong and growing.We have aspirations of continued expansion in the photo specialty market, but are transitioning to a lifestyle and outdoors brand at a reasonable pace.The center of gravity for my CEO role is still largely product based, though I consider my most important role to be the nurturing of our existing in house talent and the acquisition of more human resources that can add to the experience of Peak Design. Above all, the ethos of Peak Design is to promote an environment of enjoyment in all aspects of life...professional and otherwise. So long as this remains the core goal, great people will come, and great products will follow.
