Designer Leader Builder Mentor Work Bestie‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

Sean Maisano has spent 15+ years turning “wouldn’t it be fun if…” into actual products.

Design Leader & Product Creator with 15+ years of experience turning culture, curiosity, and a little bit of rebellious optimism into brand defining product.

I lead creative teams and set design visions that connect style, sport, travel, and culture… always starting with the consumer and never with the trend du jour.

From industry giants to scrappy startups, I’ve led the creation and launch of best-selling products with brands like Adidas, The North Face, lululemon, New Balance, Reef, and many more.
Sitting at the intersection of design, merchandising, marketing, and product strategy, my works is defined by creating products that people actually want to use, wear, AND share.

Leading through connection, curiosity, and a healthy dose of “what if?”, I take an enormous amount of pride in leading teams that challenge the expected, rally cross-functional partners, and leverage global manufacturing to turn ambitious creative visions into commercially meaningful, and market moving product.
