Hey there! 👋 I'm Blake.

By day, I'm a Technical Product Leader for AI & Data Platforms.

By night, I'm a musician/songwriter, a board game connoisseur, and an improv aficionado.

Whether you already know me, or want to get a better idea of who I am, this website serves as a central hub for everything related to my life. I kept it purposefully simple. Function over form.

I'm currently at an inflection point where more time and effort is being poured into creative endeavors. This site serves as a mix of both professional and creative works.

Want to learn more about me ?

Want to know what I'm up to now ?

Want to explore my thoughts ?

Want to know what I've worked on ?

Want to hear me talk about something interesting?

Want to see me perform live?

Looking for something specific? Just type / to search.

Hopefully, you'll find something here that interests you. If you do, please reach out! It would make my day.
