I'm a Product Designer living in California. Learn more about me here.

Moving Forward

Two years ago my friend Caleb and I made a difficult decision to leave Scrapblog and move to the Bay Area. As part of that move we made an informal pact that when either of us started a company of our own, one would go work with the other. That time has come, and that company is Yobongo.

In early July I’ll be joining Caleb and team at Yobongo as their first Product Designer.

Over the last 2 years I’ve learned more than I have at any other point in my career. My assumptions were constantly challenged and I was forced to confront my core beliefs around what makes a company great, and more importantly, what makes me happy. The inevitable side effect of this process is that things which once seemed like a good fit, are no longer so, and other opportunities seem much more obvious. Such is life.

I’m eager to get started, but for now I’m going to take a few days off and enjoy a little much needed decompression time.
