Prior to Apple, from 1993 - 2005 George spent over 12 years product managing, designing and producing product solutions and experiences for global brands like Adobe, Macromedia, Corbis, Microsoft, and MetaDesign.
It turns out George was also a bit of a (pro)otaku during his near decade in Japan having been an original voice actor on Neon Genesis Evangelion. Evangelion has become one of the most successful and critically acclaimed anime television series of the 1990s. Considered both a critique and deconstruction of the mecha genre, the series has become a cultural icon and has resulted in the artistic and technical revival of the anime industry in Japan. George currently splits his time between San Francisco, Tokyo, and Kyoto.
