Brian V

I'm Brian, a founding designer with over 20 years shaping digital products. I was the first designer at Flagship, a startup acquired by Shopify, and before that at Aalto, where I led design from founding through growth. Earlier, I spent nearly eight years as a principal designer at Nextdoor, helping build one of the largest neighborhood networks in the world. I work both as an individual contributor and as a team leader, depending on what a product needs. Ask me about founding-stage design, building design teams, and product design at Nextdoor and Shopify.
