Quartz

2012-2014

I was the first product and engineering hire at Quartz, joining when it was still an unnamed Atlantic Media venture.

I helped take it from a blank slate to launch, then through its early growth as a global business news brand. I led product and engineering across strategy, UX, architecture, and hands-on development, helping build a responsive publishing platform and shape many of the ideas that defined Quartz’s early digital experience.

You can see the original identify exploration work we did with Area 17.
