I am Stanley.
In a nutshell

I am a Product and Design leader who blends analytical thinking, design chops, and a knack for working across platforms and oceans, to craft the right products for any given user. My approach to work stems from both a passion for creating and multidisciplinary architectural education. My experience ranges from designing a kid-friendly device for self-infusion training to revamping a website that boasts 190 million monthly uniques.
I am a world traveler who has been to over thirty countries in the past decade. Interestingly, I have been to Poland a whopping twenty times and attended three Polish weddings (and did more than hold my own in throwing down vodka shots with the locals—as far as I can remember). I have accumulated a wealth of tips and tools to make the most of trips to a long list of destinations, as well as a ridiculous amount of photos on my iPhone.
I am a lover of food, but don't call me a foodie. I essentially grew up in my parents' restaurant and have been maintaining a spreadsheet of restaurants with my ratings and meticulous notes for the last eight years. I recently celebrated the eight-year anniversary of a pseudo-dining club (really more like a group of friends who love to eat out and poke fun at each other periodically) very appropriately at Eight Tables by George Chen.
