My time at Blind...

I joined Blind as its first Product Designer in hopes of growing exponentially as a early-mid career designer. It was also a chance to experience working at a startup for the first time. I was forced to be scrappy, wear a multitude of hats, and to be the lead design POC for so much high-impact work - it was all so humbling, but so rewarding too.
