Music tech, made human.
West Fable is a studio but also a realm of its own. We make human-first products for the music world, and we believe connecting people is part of true end-to-end design.
The Operator
Connor Drazil
I'm a technical product designer who came up through professional audio — years behind the console before I ever opened Figma. Enterprise consulting taught me to translate complex infrastructure into things people actually understand. Now I build for the music world: products, platforms, and brand systems for the people who make the noise. Design it, ship it, keep it human.
PORTRAIT OF THE OPERATOR AS A BLOB
THE RECORD SO FAR
Tracklist
The studio years. Brand systems, product design, and full-stack builds for the music world — Rogue FM, Elkheart, and whatever's next.
The enterprise years. Telecom consulting by day, professional audio engineering by night — learning to make complex infrastructure legible to the people who depend on it.
Formal design training, layered on an engineering foundation from Oregon State. The paperwork caught up to the practice.
How I work
Human-first, always. Technology that forgets people fails people.
Legibility is the job. Complex systems should feel simple.
Design isn't done until it ships — I write the code too.
Connection is a deliverable.
