Work Experience
2009 - 2023
CEO & Co-founder
2009 - 2023
You know in cartoons when they run off a cliff but they don't fall until they look down? I am trying not to look down!
2005 - 2008
General Manager, Flickr / Senior Director of Product Management
2005 - 2008
CEO & Co-founder

Ludicorp made Flickr and got bought by Yahoo. I was responsible for finance, product direction and talking to lawyers.
Software and Internet Product Design Consultant
1996 - 2002
Consulting in various roles -- interaction design, user research, visual/creative & interface design, design management, and business development & strategic consulting -- to public and private sector organizations, from start-ups to Global 1000.
2000 - 2000
Managing Director and Company Secretary
2000 - 2000
Co-wrote business plan, raised investment capital and took part in negotiating Gradfinder's acquisition by Highwired.com with a healthy profit for investors and employees — all after black April 2000. Redesigned crucial areas of the site, resulting in a 95% increase in the conversion rate and a stop to falling monthly page views per user.
1999 - 2000
Director of the Design Group at Communicate.com
1999 - 2000
Directed the design group of, at the time, the largest design + development shop in Vancouver. Acted as design lead or directly managed several million dollars worth of projects. Played a key role in business development and recruiting efforts; as well as in managing the company's rapid growth (including 100% employee growth — from 30 to 60 — and tripling revenue in one six month period).
