A new way
to explore the human mind
I have been designing for about 5 years professionally now, and it is still as fun as when I started. Okay, well I guess I don't love the constant meetings or having to come up with OKRs, but I still find it fun to genuinely just design. There is something special about thinking through a problem deeply, collaborating with others, and finding ways to express yourself within a never ending list of constraints. I think if anything, working on developer tools for the last 4 years have only added this feeling for me. I believe I really appreciate what it takes to design in an environment that is often underserved by good UX, if not an after thought altogether. I want to play a part in building that design culture and finding new problems to solve.
Now, after 4 years at HashiCorp, I find myself starting a new journey as a founding product designer at Andromeda. At Andromeda, I will be establishing a design culture from scratch, launching a new product, and venturing into marketing and brand design. There is a lot of ambiguity ahead, but I find that opportunity tantalizing. I won't claim to know every single move that will unfurl ahead of me, but I can claim to be ready to meet these challenges head on. What is the worst that can happen? I go bald from stress? Perhaps, but the growth afforded by this opportunity will be well worth it.
