I’m incredibly energized to announce that I’ve joined @generalcatalyst as their Creative Director It’s an honor to be trusted to hold this position by @htaneja, @jcfurstenberg, and the entire GC Famiglia I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with incredible folks across our industry during my break.

But I couldn’t imagine doing anything else right now. It would be absolutely foolish to not thank the many people that spent time supporting me during this time. So here’s a list of thank yous: @gaby_goldberg @seanxthielen @menemazarakis @thecpe @tamarawinter @marannelson @pythianism @janehk @cokiehasiotis @jacksondahl @nabeelqu @EmilyHerrera @DevinLewtan @bryce @soleio and I’m sure there’s others I’m forgetting who had a huge impact on me during this time And most importantly, my very offline Wife whom I’m nothing without 💕 *bonus first day of work fit yesterday
