Principal, Director of Product Innovation

Monty leads BOLTgroup's Product Innovation team. He works with clients to imagine and design innovative products that make a positive change and communicate the attributes of their brand. When not leading the team, designing stuff, or watching people (to design better stuff), he's probably renovating a house or hanging with his daughter. Or writing about designing stuff.
