Hey, I'm Brian. I'm a designer, software engineer, podcaster, and writer. I'm currently building Campsite, an app that brings together a team’s posts, calls, notes, and chat.
Before Campsite, I spent four years designing native mobile apps at GitHub.
Before GitHub, I co-founded Spectrum, a platform for large-scale communities to have better public conversations. Spectrum was acquired by GitHub in November, 2018.
Before Spectrum I designed payments experiences at Facebook, working across Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram. I originally cut my teeth as the first product designer at Buffer.
I also co-host the Design Details Podcast, a weekly conversation about design process and culture.
