Craft over process. Making things that ship.

Hi, I’m George. I’ve led design at LinkedIn, Pinterest, and my startup Flite. Now I’m back in the work itself. Closer to the craft, closer to the problem.

About

Turning big ideas into real products, and sweating the details that make them worth using.
