I advise startups on design and product.
I helped create Uber Eats, where I was Sr Director of Product Design from 2014–2020, built the Eats design team from zero to 50+, and helped build the Eats business from zero to $25B in annual bookings.
Previously, I spent time as an entrepreneur in residence at GV, and was an early designer on Google Maps where I helped create Street View.
I'm proud to be an advisor on design and product strategy at these pre-seed and seed stage companies:
I also do some small-time angel investing. If you’re building something new and think I might be a good match for you as an advisor or angel investor, get in touch !

Onion Map is a experimental map that radically deemphasizes streets, and highlights the relationship between topography and neighborhood names. It uses OpenStreetMap data, a bespoke Mapbox style, and some javascript to adjust contour colors dynamically based on the viewport. It's a work in progress so I'd love to hear your feedback!
A wise person said, "Zoom backgrounds are the new fashion." With that in mind, I recently made a series of 5 digital paintings intended for use as Zoom backgrounds—not too many garish colors, with plenty of room for your face in the middle. I did these paintings on commission for a few of my favorite Uber colleagues, who have generously allowed me to post them for public use.
If you're looking for one of the Mac OS X apps I've developed in the past, like Shellsilver, Pyper, or Lunamoth: I'm sorry, these are no longer being maintained and are not compatible with current versions of Mac OS. There are lots of great alternatives out there, though.
