    About

    I'm passionate about changing the way we make and interact with the objects in our lives. I crave products with better stories, that enrich the lives of everyone they touch, both makers and users. I started my career in graphic design, then moved to broader marketing roles. I founded Allegory in May of 2012, on Kickstarter, when the company my wife and I worked for closed. What happened next has been an amazing journey I wouldn't trade for the world. My dad is a retired barber, he's the only person who has ever cut my hair, and he taught me how to build. I'm a father of two, and my wife (& co-founder) Jess is superwoman.

    FAQ

    What does it mean to back a project (pledge)?

    When you back a project, you're pre-ordering the product. That means you'll get it once it's produced. Besides getting the product itself, you're also joining a community. Follow along the production process, take part in important surveys and give the creator valuable feedback.

    What is Kickstarter?

    Kickstarter is a launchpad for creators to raise funds for the initial production of their invention. Backers (that's you!) can support the creator by pre-ordering the product at a discounted price.

    How do I pledge?

    In order to pledge, click that green button that says “Back this project”. You'll get to select your shipping country and choose your desired pledge level and reward.
