About
I'm currently living in beautiful Seattle, Washington, where the coffee is strong and the craft beer scene is magical. When it's not raining, I like playing hockey with my 2 kids and building things in my backyard maker space. I’ve been known for prototyping some pretty ridiculous things such as The Ice Wrapper, The Toothbrush Zamboni and The Pepper Horn. If you want to know any more about the work I'm doing, drop me an email at adamsriddle@gmail.com or swing by Google’s office in Seattle.
