Those who can't, recruit.
Born and raised in Orange County, I've lived in California my whole life, other than a stint in Tokyo — a place I consider my second home, and the city I measure everywhere else against. Croatia is home on paper, and I'm still learning what that means.
I've spent more than a decade building design teams, whether they are designing product, crafting brand identities or campaigns, or even print.
Today, I lead design recruiting at Notion. Before that, 3+ years at Stripe building the design and brand hiring practice through a period when the team more than doubled.
In real life, I enjoy death metal, time with family, and travel.
Where I've built teams, most recent first.
