I believe design is the way something works. The best design is essential. I help teams create software products with values. From idea to product, from bugs to beta, from pitch to launch.

My work includes Apple, Adobe, Appfolio, Lookout, Procore, Graphiq, and Writely.

My achievements​ include that I was featured in a commercial for Abobe Creative Suite. Helped my brother sell Medium to Pentland. I was an early investor and designer of AppFolio (APPF) which went public. My web apps were featured on Apple's website for the best new web app twice. Started New Leaders in my bedroom and grew it to $1M+ in revenue. Created one of the first web-based Twitter clients for the iPhone. Designed the first version of Lookout for Android. Sound Stage was the #1 Mac App in Developer Tools opening day in the Mac App Store. Raven was considered one of the best Mac apps of 2011. I help design Xcode, Classroom and many other apps and features for Apple. Worked on the "State of the Union" and "What's New in Xcode" WWDC presentations.

I have invested in startups such as Addepar, Appfolio, Lookout, Pinterest, Poynt and Robinhood.
