In short
Nine years ofproducts peoplekeep.
I started in research, moved through design, and have run product for nine years. I like fuzzy problems, small teams andshipping every week.
Outside work: early runs along the Corniche, a bread starter older than my last job, and a reading group that argues about pricing.
