“Electrolites” profile continued from p. 29 “We even designed a pair for [the record producer-rapper] Timbaland,” says Doug, grinning. Apparently, word of their customdesigned fine-art/street-art matrimony made its way to Timbaland’s staff, who got in touch with the Choate duo for a pair specifically tailored to his taste. They’ve given one of their artists free rein over the design. Doug and Matt credit their time at Choate with building them into who they are now. “Something about that is so binding,” Doug says. “You never know what people will do in college or after.” He is persistently surprised to open the latest edition of the Choate Bulletin and see what his classmates have been up to, what they’ve made, what they’re still building. “We’ve been thinking about a gold-and-blue pair,” Doug half-jokes. In his mind, he’s already building it.
