Over the last 16 years, I’ve taken on various roles such as Founder, Design Manager, Creative Director, Design Educator, and Angel Investor. My most notable contribution was at Shopify where I focused on expanding selling opportunities for 4.25M+ merchants worldwide through a developer platform. Afterwards I started a software company and spent some time in venture at AngelList. I'm currently working on my next thing.

I have an insatiable interest in complex, iterative, and measurable work performed over long periods of time. My days are spent with funny, thoughtful, and honest people. I like to believe I display all those qualities too.

Over the last 16 years, I’ve also held roles such as Design Manager, Creative Director, Design Educator, and Angel Investor. I am most known for my work at Shopify where I worked on their developer platform increasing selling opportunities for 4.25M+ merchants worldwide. These days I am working upstream to help the venture system move capital to founders more efficiently.
