Creativity has defined Rix’s entire life as both a producer and appreciator. He grew up drawing and painting as a passionate pastime, which translated into a degree in architecture from the University of California at Berkeley. He became a practicing architect and embraced the first-generation of CAD technologies, which led to a product management role at a start-up in San Francisco that later became Macromedia. At Macromedia, which was later acquired by Adobe Systems, he managed a number of product lines including the creation and launch of its first bundled product, The Freehand Graphics Studio, targeted at the print market.

For the second part of his career, Rix bridged into the enterprise software market with experience in B2B markets such as supply chain, manufacturing and CRM with executive roles in marketing and business development.

Rix originally joined Blurb in October of 2017 to develop the business’ growth strategy and is now excited to lead Blurb to its next level of success in the capacity of the company’s CEO.
