MagMHJ was founded in 2004 as a website development business. For many years, I worked with local small businesses and organizations to develop websites and interactive experiences. During that time, I gained a passion for design and working with creative tools.
In 2012, I released my first mobile app, Rocky Road, and from then on MagMHJ was primarily a mobile app development studio. Each new project was a challenge in some way and an opportunity to learn something new (3D rendering, machine learning, wacky marketing ideas, etc.). MagMHJ became my outlet to explore interests and experiment with creative ideas.
In 2020, I got my dream job at Apple to work with the industry's brightest designers, 3D engineers, and artists on ambitious new projects within the Vision Products Group. Since then, I've unfortunately needed to halt all projects related to MagMHJ to avoid conflicts of interest. However, I still maintain this website as a sort of "time capsule" to preserve records of these projects for the future. Many of these projects are now "out of date" or no longer available, but these records remain as a commemoration of this experimental early period of my career.
I will likely not release any more commercial projects for the foreseeable future, though I'd like to one day return to the world of app production/design with a particular focus on creative tools. In the meantime, you can always reach me at
