Tilt

Founding Designer · 2016 to 2017

I was the founding designer at Tilt, then called Empower, from 2016 to 2017. Before the company was incorporated, I worked with former Sequoia partner Warren Hogarth to define its look, feel and feature set, then led every part of the app's design in the 18 months before launch. As of 2026, Tilt has raised $174M from Sequoia, Initialized Capital, Icon Ventures and Quiet Capital.
