CED FUNCHES

DESIGN ENGINEER + FOUNDER

Available

I'm Ced and I'm a Product Designer in sunny San Diego. I started in the NBA and find myself in product design and engineering.

In my years of experience I have designed user interfaces and experiences, planned, supported, and implemented features and roadmaps, and led cross-functional teams at companies like NBA, Microsoft, Vox Media, and Deel.

Open to collaborations and emerging products in the music and gaming space.

Launched

Send the prototype. Not the deployment.

Drop a local folder or paste a localhost port. Get a shareable link in 30 seconds. Set it to die in 1 hour, 24 hours, or kill it manually. No deployment. No git. No developer.

LIVE SiteProduct Design

I built this after the same thing happened to me one too many times. I had a prototype ready to show a client, and I spent 20 minutes figuring out how to share it instead of just sharing it. I'm a designer first so "just open your terminal" sounded like French for "you idiot, you don't know how to use GitHub?"

Pre-Seed

Setlister Holdings

SetLister is the first platform that lets fans pay to influence a live setlist — embedded directly into ticket checkout. I designed and developed this platform that empowers artists to allow fans to pay to influence their concert experience. We partner directly with the world's top musicians and their teams, record labels and work directly with ticketing platforms. Launching in 2027.

LIVE SiteCo-Founder

This is one of the more personal projects I've worked on. We own several patents on the platform and this truly expanded my knowledge on building APIs and services.

The Brand Wolves Fans Still Howl For

Defined the Timberwolves’ identity end to end: arena, court, and game-day experience. The brand the franchise still carries on in a refreshed form.

LIVE SiteArt Direction

I've worked with a lot of designers. Ced is one of the few who can hold the big picture and sweat the details at the same time. Clients noticed immediately. He has a unique ability to blend great craft to products.

Todd Radom

Ced doesn't just design. He thinks. Every screen he touched had a reason behind it, and that made our handoffs to engineering genuinely painless.

Kevin Bethune

Rare to find someone who can go deep on systems thinking and still make something beautiful. Ced does both without breaking a sweat.

Amy Hood

Ced brought a level of craft and intention to our product that we hadn't seen before. He elevated the entire design culture of our team just by being in the room.

Tony Choido

Working with Ced was one of the smoothest creative collaborations I've had. He listens deeply, pushes back when it matters, and the work always speaks for itself.

Scott Mullin

Ced has a rare ability to make complex problems feel simple. His design instincts are sharp, his communication is clear, and every deliverable came in polished and purposeful.
