About

I’m a designer with experience building brands, websites, and tools. At OpenAI, I’ve helped grow Design from 0 to 1, starting from a humble one-person design & development team. Before OpenAI, I worked at independent digital agencies, studied engineering at Berkeley, and got kicked out of typography school in New York.

I’m based in San Francisco, where it’s currently .

Notes

In light of recent NBA trade news, some basketball rules that people shouldn’t forget: 1. a team has five players on the floor, 2. there’s only one ball to go around, and 3. most importantly, the game is played on both ends of the court.

More albums that, without exaggeration, changed my life: 1. Ágætis byrjun (1999) by Sigur Rós 2. Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (2008) by Sigur Rós 3. Bryter Layter (1971) by Nick Drake 4. Bloom (2012) by Beach House 5. Atlas (2014) by Real Estate 6. Carrie & Lowell
