Trying to be a second-time founder, the first time around. Excited to be working with Liam Lacey on building out a proper marketing function at VE. This launch is just the beginning — many more to come.

Some wonderful insights at South Park Commons from Colin Dunn and Soleio around running a company as a designer founder - “Make sure you love the problem space you’re in - it’s easy to fall in love with the idea of starting a company but that’s not enough.”

This was a fun talk—YouTube links landing soon. Thanks to all who came and contributed excellent questions. My aim is to give texture to the designer founder journey. Colin Dunn provided numerous nuggets of hard earned wisdom. More firesides soon. Who else should I get?

Before founding Visual Electric , I was bouncing startup ideas off Greg Rosen for the better part of a decade. He was my first filter for startup ideas and ultimately the first check into VE.

This was fun to make. Shout out to Kyson Dana for leading the charge on the design, Liam Lacey for his work on content, and our friends at Framer for bringing it to life

This has been a long time coming… I’m incredibly excited to welcome Emerson to the crew, where he’ll be leading product design. After reviewing hundreds of candidates, it was clear Emerson was truly exceptional, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have him on board ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Bittersweet moment. Visual Electric has been acquired by Perplexity and will be sunset over the coming weeks. Becoming a founder has long been a dream of mine, and getting to work on Visual Electric for nearly three years has been the most rewarding experience of my career.

It's true, Visual Electric has been acquired by Perplexity. I’m beyond grateful for the ride at Visual Electric. I joined because I believed in their vision, design craft, but most of all because of who they were as humans and as a team. Good things happen when the vibes are
