I’m Ethan Saunders, a Creative Technology and Design student at the University of Colorado Boulder. I work at the intersection of product, design, and engineering—part builder, part designer, part systems thinker—using technology and design thinking to solve real-world problems.

I came up through game design, and it still shapes how I work: an instinct for stylized, atmospheric experiences (think Dark Souls, Borderlands, Castle Crashers) and an obsession with how things look, feel, and function. These days I’m applying that same craft more broadly—coding, 3D modeling, and visual design in service of products people actually use. I’m AI-native, and I build with these tools as a default, not an afterthought.

When I’m not building, I’m in the gym, on the mountain, skating with friends, or geeking out over cars.
