But soon after graduating, McRuer made an unlikely early-career pivot, ditching his dependable product design job to pursue his passion for film. The 2019 graduate studied product design at Stanford's School of Engineering. The internship quickly evolved into a full-time product design position. He initially thought he could get his filmmaking fix via a hobby that played second fiddle to his engineering work.
