Blake A Galloway

Chief Design Officer at Pay Theory

What I do: I design simple and beautiful solutions for complex and often overlooked problems.

Why pay theory? I came to pay theory after calling one of our CEO’s, Eric, for advice regarding an EdTech startup I was in the process of creating. He introduced me to the issues pay theory was solving. After hearing more about their mission and meeting with the team it was an easy decision to table what I was working on and join forces with them.

Background: Prior to pay theory, I spent 2 years teaching secondary education, and 8 years as a digital designer for a multitude of projects including; ui/ux design for multiple startups, new product identity design for Proctor and Gamble and motion graphics designer for a range of clients including Disney.

My Family: My wife Emily and I have 2 kids, Jaida (3) and Phoenix (8 months) and a cat. Jaida has an adventurous spirit and is currently my little sidekick who draws with me and accompanies me in all my gardening and foraging. Phoenix is an ever-happy baby who likes to use me as a jungle gym. As a family, we love to spend out time outside hiking and going on adventures.

Education: Miami University (Creative Arts Degree) and Youtube (a lot of Youtube)
