Hi there! I'm Parker Ortolani, a proven digital marketing and creative brand strategist with seven years of experience bringing products from ideation through launch to customer interaction at world-class companies. Product manager and designer with a record of creating popular consumer products and imaginative user interface concepts. Technology thought leader with 28,000+ followers, 34,000,000+ impressions, and features in leading publications such as Forbes, Gizmodo, Daring Fireball, among others.


I manage consumer product development for The Verge, Polygon, and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I previously managed consumer product development and marketing at BuzzFeed. I was also a contributing writer and consultant for 9to5Mac.

I’ve helped bring hundreds of products in a wide variety of categories to market at some of the world’s biggest retailers such as Walmart, Amazon, Target, and Macy’s.

As a user experience designer I spend lots of time prototyping digital products. I’ve created countless concepts, many of which have been featured by popular publications. They’ve been featured by 9to5Mac, iMore, 500ish Words, Cult of Mac, Gizmodo, iDownloadBlog, MacRumors, The Verge, and BGR. My editorial work has been featured on Daring Fireball, 512 Pixels, Forbes, and others.

I’ve brought several merch stores to life for various brands. I helped launch the 9to5Mac store and created several designs for apparel. I currently oversee The Verge store, the Polygon store, and several others. I designed and assisted in launching stores for several other brands such as Secret Base, Vox, Eater, and New York Magazine.
