There once was a lonely wannabe designer. He sat in a late night coffee shop, nursing a decaf americano with Sketch open. He moved some shapes on a screen and dreamt of being part of the design industry. Over 10 years later, dozens of incredible apps and projects, and hundreds of new friends (more to come hopefully), I can't say thank you enough.

I've led design teams for Mercury, designed for Dropbox and Facebook, and I'm the retired co-host of Epicurrence.

Here's an ongoing list of people I deeply owe: for encouragement, for advice, for opening doors, for inviting me to go on this wild journey.
