This is my first post on Medium, and I figured it's necessary to introduce myself.
My name is Parker Rex. Welcome to my Medium page—glad you made it.
I've always been obsessed with making things.
A Look Back
- Age 13 – Built a YouTube channel, ParkerThePyro, to 13k subscribers before it got shut down by the US Dept of Homeland Security (whoops). 2006 YouTube was a wild place.
- Age 15 – Created a Counter-Strike 1.6 mod and built a gaming community, designing custom graphics for the game.
- Age 20 – Produced and released 10+ original tracks and 4 remixes, plus hosted my own 10-episode show, Rex Sessions, which racked up 40,000 plays.
- Age 21 – Interned at Humanaut, a creative agency, learning branding, copywriting, and design.
The Journey to Product
From there, I joined Delivery Dudes, sourcing and designing merchandise and marketing materials.
Now, I'm a product designer and product manager at Delivery Dudes, where I've:
- Designed and launched 3 apps (2 for iPhone/Android, 1 for iPad).
- Worked closely with developers to create products that align with business needs.
- Tackled new challenges daily, designing solutions that drive impact.
I'm always looking for cool projects to work on.
