Hi, I’m Dustin Senos. Welcome to my personal website. 👋
A goal to enrich peoples’ lives through engineering and design has driven me to create websites and products for more than a decade.
Previously, I was the Head of Design at Medium, a platform where Barack Obama, Tony Hawk, and everyday people share thoughts and stories. Before Medium, I wrote code for Walt Disney and oversaw a small team of engineers building the game engine for Club Penguin, a virtual world inhabited by millions of children.
I’m currently the co-founder of a new product, calo which launches in summer of 2019. If you’re interested, leave your email for updates.
In 2017 I started a small product studio taking on design, product, and prototyping work. If you’d like to work together, please get in touch.
To build skill and gain perspective, I take on projects that are interesting, challenging, or in verticals where I have little experience. Some of the companies I’ve worked with are: The White House, IFTTT, eero, Figure1, Talkshow, LaunchKit, Samsung, Dreamworks, and Feminist Frequency. I also ship personal projects like Out of Office Hours, Wallcat, and LittleIpsum.
I’m semi-active on Twitter and Instagram, and publish longer thoughts on Medium. I have a bit of open source software on Github which I wrote for Twitter and Medium.
