About Zander

I’ve been told by my closest friends that I’ve got a fair amount of idealism in me. It’s this alternative way of seeing the world, a fearless “what if”, that drives me to make something new. Traveling with ambiguity and wandering in the woods long enough to come back with a morsel of creative goodness is what I’m built to do. There’s moments of doubt balanced by over-confident gusto and unbridled optimism, but taking this journey with incredibly talented friends is what it’s all about. I’ve always been an artist, a tinkerer, a hacker and a doer. I spent over a decade teaching undergraduate and graduate courses at some of the best colleges in the United States. I spent two decades building a studio art practice, showing at galleries and museums around the world. I’ve spent the bulk of my life experimenting ideas into reality. But, before everything else I was an artist. Pen, paper, line, color, and shape. The basics. I’m the architect of some of the most interesting creative explorations at Major League Baseball and I’ve been lucky to work with incredible colleagues to bring things to life. Together we’ve built award winning, innovative experiences that span everything from broadcast to video games to never before seen products on new platforms. Ideas are the easy part, and I’ve got a bunch. Knowing how to build is always the hardest part.
