Hi there! 👋 I’m Justin Nealey, and I’m thrilled to have you here. If you’re reading this, it means you’ve stumbled upon my little corner of the internet—a space where I’ll be sharing weekly insights from my journey as a Principal Product Manager at GoDaddy, a freelance web designer, a hobby photographer, and a lifelong lover of tech and video games.

Who Am I?

To give you a bit of background, I’ve spent over a decade in the WordPress world, designing and developing user-friendly, visually striking websites. These days, I focus on product management, honing my skills in product discovery and experimentation to bring creative ideas to life.

But life isn’t all work for me. I’m a proud husband and father, with an amazing 11-year-old daughter and a son arriving this January. When I’m not chasing deadlines, you’ll likely find me chasing light on the streets as a hobbyist photographer, indulging in my love for street photography, or getting overly invested in my favorite NFL team, the Los Angeles Chargers (yes, I’m used to heartbreak).

What Can You Expect Here?

This blog will be a blend of the personal and the professional. Each week, I’ll dive into topics like:

  • Lessons Learned: Insights from my work in product management and web design.
  • What’s Top of Mind: The ideas, challenges, and trends sparking my curiosity.
  • Tech & Gaming: The tools and games I’m exploring (like New World Aeternum on Xbox right now).
  • Books I’m Reading: What’s on my bookshelf (currently: Continuous Discovery by Teresa Torres).
  • Photography Adventures: Stories from behind the lens, along with a dose of creative inspiration.

My goal is to make this a space where ideas flow freely—where we can connect, learn, and grow together. I’ll keep things interactive, so feel free to jump into the comments, share your thoughts, or suggest topics you’d like me to cover.

Why Start a Blog?

For me, this blog is a way to reflect on the week, share what excites me, and document the journey. It’s a mix of experimentation and storytelling—two things I’m passionate about in both my work and personal life. Plus, it’s a chance to connect with like-minded folks who share an interest in creativity, tech, and life’s endless lessons.

Let’s Connect

I’m looking forward to sharing this journey with you! Whether you’re here for professional tips, photography inspiration, or just some musings on life, I hope you’ll find something meaningful. Let’s learn, experiment, and grow—together.

Until next time,
Nealey
