I’m a designer at heart, but my work has always moved between product, business and systems. I care about how things work, how they feel, and what impact they have.

In 2025 I co-founded Random Access Memories, the company behind Pool – an iOS app that turns screenshots into something useful. We’re backed by General Catalyst and other investors.

I acquired the design magazine Minimalissimo in 2025 and operate it with a small team. In 2026 I also acquired One Page Love, the leading source for web design inspiration reaching over a million creatives a year. We're building on their strengths and steadily growing them.

I founded Literal in 2020 to help people discover books they’ll actually love and connect through reading. We raised pre-seed funding and grew to 100k+ users. In 2024 I also created Faxfix, the simplest way to send faxes and letters online.

For over a decade I ran Minimal Gallery, one of the most well-known sources for website design inspiration (sold in 2026). I also co-founded Waitless (now Letterby), a waitlist tool with built-in referrals, in 2024. We sold it in 2025.

Before focusing on my own ventures I ran Some Studio as a design agency, working with over 100 brands – from early-stage startups to companies like Porsche, H&M and Red Bull.

Along the way, I’ve built smaller projects like Fuck I Wish I Knew That and Sort, and made a few angel investments.
