I want to pause here and dwell on how weird the run dynamic was. Venture capital shot itself in the foot by pulling their money & broadcasting it (bizarrely?) loudly. There will likely be start-ups who can't make payroll next week VCs should've watched It's a Wonderful Life 4/

Hyped to have had the opportunity to direct this showcase of work from across all of Coinbase design. One of my favorite things to work on in 2023. s/o Shujaat and Travis Krause for design and motion 👏 led by Jeff Smith and 🛡️ tali krakowsky apel🛡️ 🫡

We made big steps in 2023 to level up all our products. Plenty yet to do but proud of how far we’ve come.

This team ships 🔥

Jevons paradox strikes again! As AI gets more efficient and accessible, we will see its use skyrocket, turning it into a commodity we just can't get enough of. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_pa…

On the P1 front, very proud to start deliveries! Jeff Smith picked his up on Friday!

So excited to see what all the incredible (ex-)Figma employees will go out and build in the world! This is what’s so exciting about “financial exits” where employees benefit — a great seeding event. Lots of new little seeds being planted, lots of new ideas made into reality ✨
