I'm excited about the opportunity to help shape the future of finance and beyond at Chainlink because I believe it’s one of the frontrunners in the space. I’ve been investing in Chainlink for a few years now and I’d love to be involved in the movement in an active way. At my previous company AirOps, I focused on product design but I also often contributed across disciplines, from illustration and motion to audio and code. I’ve found that I thrive in design roles where I can wear multiple hats and have a direct impact.

Hey Tommy,
I'm excited about the opportunity at Surreal and would like to know more about its mission. I thrive in roles where I can use many skills, from product design and coding to video and branding. My very versatile skill set allows me to collapse the talent stack, which has been proven effective in my previous role as founding designer at AirOps where I led the product from 0 to product-market fit and helped drive its successful $15.5M Series A as a one-person design team. This experience also supercharged my interest in AI, which makes me think I could be a great match for Surreal.
I hope to hear from you soon!

With 10 years of experience in product design across startups, accelerators, and agencies, I bring a versatile background that fits well with Fingerprint’s fast-moving, scale-up environment.

I enjoy solving complex problems and creating clear, intuitive user experiences, especially in technical spaces like developer tools. I’m excited by Fingerprint’s mission and I hope to hear from you soon!

Hey Jonah,
With 10 years of experience in product design across startups, accelerators, and agencies, I bring a versatile background that fits well with Aurora’s fast-moving, early-stage environment.

Hey Ahmed,
With 10 years of experience in product and visual design, I bring a broad skill set that includes UI/UX, branding, front-end, illustration, animation, and more. I’ve worked across startups, agencies, and incubators, and I enjoy wearing multiple hats. US Mobile’s focus on great customer experience and strong visual design really speaks to me. Something that I've missed in previous challenges is a strong human element so I’d be excited to help shape a product that stands out in a competitive space and brings real value to its users.
I hope to hear from you soon!

Hey Katy,
I’m eager to join Feeld because I’ve been looking for ways to apply my design skills in a more meaningful way. After a decade of working in tech, I’ve recently started questioning the value I bring to society by building ‘yet another B2B enterprise tool’. As a Feeld user myself, I deeply align with its values and refreshing approach. Having actively used various dating apps, I also feel that I understand the changing dynamics of modern dating firsthand — both its challenges and its opportunities for better experiences — making me excited to contribute.

Hey Casey & Jonathan,
I'm really impressed by what you're building at Overlap and I'm curious to know more. It falls right between 2 startups I was heavily involved in recently, on the other hand AirOps, a scalable AI-powered content orchestration platform, and on the other hand HappyClient, an AI platform to help businesses capture video testimonials easily from their customers. My broad skill set makes me especially effective as a founding designer, so if we feel there's a match I'd be interested in getting my hands on Overlap. I've also taken some time to list some of my more recent projects underneath if you want to take a look.

Hey Michael,
I came across Quill and it really caught my attention. I've used similar tools before and the efficiency and peace of mind Quill brings is valuable. I also see a lot of design opportunities and challenges already in various use cases and the templates etc.

I've worked in startups, incubators and agencies so I've been involved in many phases of the product making process. In my last role I carried AirOps to product market fit and a Series A as a one-man design team. I also noticed Quill's website is built in Webflow, which is also something I'm very proficient at and would love to contribute to if needed, I'm comfortable wearing many hats.
