Hey, I'm Mitch. I'm a product founder with a focus on design, technology, and culture.

I co-founded Mappedin, Fandrop, was Head of Product Eng. at Orium, first full time hire at Composable, and I've helped build a handful of other teams and products in my role as founder at Human.

It’s amazing what a good set of constraints can do for your design collaboration and reviews. Knowing the boundaries of a problem can be the difference between a design that fails in testing, and one that passes with clear and meaningful justification.

After years of self-tracking, I’ve found that the more passive a tracking process is, the more likely you are to derive value from it. Early on, it’s easy to get excited about your data and put in the work to keep active processes going, but as your stack matures, you realize how much more value there is in your passive measurements.

[...] Incredibly, the lobby was the result of a last-minute fix to an odd bug. It had left an impact that we could never have expected. It gave us a space to share our thoughts and a chance to share our excitement at a time when we’re all separated. The experience convinced me once again that nothing will teach you more about a product than launching it.
