Hello, I'm Devin Lane

Creativity | Technology | Education

I am an innovative and driven program manager, musician, and producer with 10+ years experience defining and leading the development of creative teams, successful educational programs, and high-impact multimedia projects using the latest technologies.

I am an educator and writer with strong communication and storytelling skills. I have a knack for stewarding ideas into action and translating concepts into smooth copy and iconic audio. I am adept at fostering healthy professional relationships across diverse teams. I facilitate the moving parts between creative, technical, and business/administrative teams.

I am fluent in Spanish with extensive international experience in Latin America and Europe.

I specialize in music/audio production and editing with Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, Max/MSP, etc. I'm proficient in all modern creative tools, as well as HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

I look forward to learning how we might work together. Contact me here.
