Hi, I’m Dustin Senos (he/him). Welcome to my personal website. 👋

A goal to enrich peoples’ lives through engineering and design has driven me to create digital products for almost two decades.

I spend my days at The Browser Company of New York as the design lead. We’re building a better browser so your time on the internet is more enjoyable. You should leave your email if you’d like to know when we launch.

Before The Browser Company, I started a digital product studio taking on design, product, and prototyping work. Before the studio, 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 was a Software Engineer at Walt Disney and oversaw a team of engineers building the game engine for Club Penguin, a virtual world inhabited by millions of children.

To build skill and gain perspective, I take on projects in various verticals that are interesting and challenging. Below is a selection of projects I’ve worked on:

• Wrote iOS code for Facebook on their ████████ project (under NDA)
• Led a redesign for the The White House to revamp the We The People platform to increase the quality of submitted petitions.
• Led the design for the launch of TechCrunch’s Extra Crunch premium membership.
• Led the product and design for IFTTT’s partner dashboard and feedback systems.
• Helped design the first eero (acquired by Amazon) iOS app and onboarding experience.
• Hosted an on-site design sprint for Figure1 to increase user engagement.
• Branded and helped design Talkshow’s (acquired by Medium) iOS app.
• Led the redesign of LaunchKit’s (acquired by Google) various tools.
• Co-engineered a social site for Samsung to accompany a new mobile phone launch.
• Consulted with Dreamworks to suggest improvements for a virtual world.
• Led the design for Feminist Frequency to improve brand presence and increase donations.
• Lived in the Sierra Nevada Foothills for a month and donated design and product consulting to a nature conservancy.

I also ship personal projects like Out of Office Hours, Wallcat, and LittleIpsum. I have a bit of open source software on Github which I wrote for Twitter and Medium.

I’m semi-active on Twitter and Instagram, and publish longer thoughts on Medium. I’m often reading and have recently listed the books I’m reading, read, and soon to start.

Various, ongoing projects:

• Calo Camera — A camera that values your attention.
• Sharemark — An email publishing platform.
• Articles.page — An updating list of evergreen articles in response to events at work, such as “I need to setup a career path framework.”
• Mixtape Songs — Currently a collection of friends’ “Favorite ten albums from the last ten years.” lists.

Select writing:

• What to talk about when we talk about diversity
• Have you tried Junkfood.app?
• How to get value from wireframes
• An approach to projects, furthering a cause by turning down work, and failing to make $ from Wallcat
• Creating useful design principles
• Your friends are more than their job titles (and so are you)
• On dashes, hyphens, and other important aspects of life
• Holiday office hours

As a personal goal I’ve challenged myself to speak in front of groups of strangers:

• Product Design — Munich, Germany
• Design Details #20 — San Francisco, USA
• Design Details Live @ Epicurrence — Oahu Hawaii, USA
• The Web Ahead — NYC, USA
• The Hero’s Journey — UXAlive Istanbul, Turkey
• Google FORM — San Francisco, USA
