He enjoys giving products charm, mentoring designers, and learning why humans do what they do. He uses listening, honesty, and optimism to drive projects, conduct user research, and advocate for design thinking. He's a lifelong learner that really does like soup and making things for people to enjoy.

He made his first website in the 7th grade for a geography project before studying Graphic Design in college. He kicked off his professional career working on interactive teams as the advertising world transitioned to digital marketing. His segue from dot com redesigns, augmented reality issues, and educational tools was to do more focused product work and began helping a variety of small startups, many of whom were TechStars alum. He's also reluctant about writing bios in the 3rd person.

This experience led him to full-time roles working on a mobile app with 3-5m DAU, redesigning a meal-kit management tool, internal tooling and a developer platform. Most recently, Justin has been immersing into the rapidly evolving world of AI, helping build tools for engineers, supporting a Ruby/AI meetup in NYC, and embracing his newfound coding abilities.
