About Max Schaffer

I work with passionate people to turn wild ideas into real-world products.I'm a constant creator in the broadest sense. I build lighting and audio engineering hardware from scratch, I ideate and design products from parts lists down to logos and merchandise, I create full physical spaces while at the same time polishing digital app assets. I have extensive experience leading design and live production teams, and have worked everywhere from tech startups, to theatre & television, to messenger delivery services. I'm a highly experienced music producer and audio engineer, as well as live performer and multi-instrumentalist. I studied history at Harvard University and attended the LaGuardia Arts public conservatory high school for technical theatre. I pride myself in a diverse skillset, and my commitment to understanding and experiencing every level and role in a project, from dev to delivery.
