Top SchoolBrad Bouse is a seasoned founder and product-minded design engineer with 14 years of experience building and scaling creative technology teams and agencies from Seattle. As CEO and Co‑Founder of Lightboard he leads a studio that has shipped thousands of design projects for B2B marketing teams at companies like Autodesk, GitHub, and Amazon, backed by a custom workflow and asset management system. Previously he helped build breakthrough consumer products—designing Geni’s family-tree interface used by millions and authoring Yammer’s desktop app during its breakout phase—experiences that inform his pragmatic blend of UX, front-end engineering, and business strategy. Brad’s work bridges art and code: he creates generative, instruction-driven art in JavaScript (implementing Sol LeWitt pieces with paper.js) and has spoken on the topic at CascadiaJS, JSConf.EU, and Amazon’s WebDevCon. He also founded Code Fellows, proving an ability to turn educational and product concepts into over-subscribed programs. Curious and creative, he pairs filmmaking and design roots with hands-on engineering to solve visual and product challenges end-to-end.
