Conversation with Billy:
What’s your current position at LEA?
[BV] I am very excited to begin my role as Senior Graphic Designer. In this role, I will work to elevate the LEA brand by designing engaging print and digital marketing collateral. I will work in collaboration with the marketing team to discover new ways to tell LEA’s story.
What is your background, and what brings you to LEA Pro?
[BV] I have 15 years of professional graphic design experience. I previously worked at a commercial printing company designing everything from logos to exterior graphics for Fortune 500 RV companies. As a drummer and musician, I was drawn to LEA as this position combines my passion for audio and bold design.
What do you like about audio technology?
[BV] Audio Technology is always evolving with new technologies. I come from the era when we used to record mixed tapes, so the world of digital audio is amazing and convenient. It has been fascinating to see how audio has evolved in the digital space.
What are your personal hobbies?
[BV] When I am not designing, you can usually find me behind the drumset. I have been a drummer for over 20 years and it is my happy place. I also enjoy spending time with my girlfriend and family, going to concerts, visiting a brewery/cidery, reading TMNT comics, watching hockey, and being a nerd about space.
What makes audio or audio tech so important in your opinion?
[BV] From the collective engagement of an audience at a concert to helping solve a crime through enhanced audio—sound influences the world around us by evoking emotion and brings clarity to our lives.
