I’m so excited to join @drewwilson to help build @OpacityHQ! Not only has it been a dream of mine to build next to Drew for the past 15 years, but the product he’s building is something I’ve needed throughout all phases of my design/engineer career. It’s an honor to be part of the team who will build and ship this over the coming months. It’s an honor to build with friends again! @NotoriousUSB

Big week here! Excited to work with @brdrck!

So pumped to be back building. And I have my very own sports card too!

I have some fun news to share. This week I joined the founding team at @OpacityHQ I love the coaching work with my clients - and i'm still working with a small group - but over the past few months I have missed being on a team and building something together. I've also learned too much not run it back. This past summer I met @drewwilson thanks to a timely introduction from a family member. We hit it off immediately and had fun throwing around ideas on startups and life. Eventually I shared more about my intentions to get back into a startup and he asked me to join him building Opacity. It all just felt right. We're just getting started. The product is coming together, we have some great early backers, and long list of people who want to use it. Can't wait to share more.

Big News: I’m super excited to announce @dillonfrd has joined @OpacityHQ! Dillon was early at Typekit, then @Adobe for years, and then was early @SlackHQ and started the Slack VC fund, and was a VC for 6 years. And now he’s helping me build Opacity :D

Opaque is coming soon :D It’s the system I built that powers @OpacityHQ, and also powers any app deployed via @OpacityHQ 😎 Sneak peek:

Two things I've learned throughout my career in technology - tech shifts always play out longer than we expect, and they always reward the ones who experiment early linkedin.com/pulse/when-you…

After a two year break, I am back!

@beh_zod @vercel this as 🔥. I've already struggled with meetings despite reflection and trying to rework the system. Really love the framing!

A large part of my job at @vercel is meetings. While I’m still mastering the art of a good meeting, treating them like products has been helpful in identifying what’s broken and how to improve them. Like other products, they require intentional design and care.
