Things I've worked on
I want to create things that people love: physical spaces, food, events, software, and more.
Big efforts
Waller & Laussat (2024 →) — Design/build on two adjacent lots in San Francisco, oriented around families.
Even (2014-2020) — We partnered with employers to deliver powerful financial tools to employees: access to pay, automatic high-yield savings, direct bill payment, hands-off budgeting, and more.
Instagram (2012-2014) — I built early products like video, people tagging, direct messaging, and the camera. I also prototyped experimental ideas that informed Stories.
Shine (2011) — A better weather app, and my first real project up for public consumption.
