I'm Jamey. Twenty-five years in audio: soldering benches at Grace Design, running HeadRoom as CEO, and lately building a line of plugins solo from a desk in Montana — headphones, amps, converters, and the software that drives them. I take on a few projects and partnerships a year, when the product is worth building and the people are worth building with.

WHAT I DO · THE SIGNAL CHAIN

The work of product, end to end.

Every product runs the same chain, idea to shelf. Pull me in for one stage or the whole path.

SOURCE01

Find the signal

What's actually worth building: the real problem, the honest market, the thing only you can pull off.

SHAPE02

What's in, what's out

Settling the feature set and holding the line. The best calls are usually the things left out.

ROUTING03

Who it's for

Who actually buys it and why, what it costs, and the story that lands it in the right hands.

OUTPUT04

Get it shipped

Prototype to production — hardware and software, sketch to shelf, including the places it tends to go sideways.

THE WORK · THE LINE

Built in the open.

Level is shipping; the rest of the line is in open beta — free to download while the DSP, the interface, and the go-to-market come together, mostly solo.

Who you'd be working with

Jamey at the Warren Labs desk

I got my start at Grace Design and went on to run HeadRoom as president and CEO. Over 25 years I've shepherded audio hardware from prototype into production, built software, produced records, and stayed close to the music the whole time.

The work sits between the engineering and the music — knowing enough about both to push a product toward something people can feel. That's been the job for a long time, whatever the title on the door happened to be.

1997 · GRACE DESIGN01

Employee #1

Production, testing, repair, prototyping, and the automated measurement system the gear was tested against. Two founders and me, to twenty people and gear in studios worldwide.

2003 · HEADROOM02

VP Ops → President & CEO

Relaunched the entire headphone-amplifier line: every model from concept through prototype into production.

NOW · WARREN LABS03

Building in public

An independent line of audio tools and an open headphone field manual. Running the whole product chain myself, in the open, so you can see exactly how I work.
