Hey there!
I love to build products, and teams.

Since 2006, I help people do more with their computers.

I try to build things that are useful, ethical, and beautiful.

CSSColors.app

CSS has a set of 148 colors that are named, like SkyBlue or HotPink.

But how do you find the color that is like Moccasin but a bit darker, for a pressed state? (the solution is obviously BurlyWood!)

I couldn't find a tool that shows similar named colors based on a picked color, so I built it, as a side project.

PopStage joins Glue

Excited to announce that PopStage (well, technically With Labs) is joining Glue (well, technically Mystery), through an acquisition of the team, and the intellectual property.

As a remote employee myself, I always found it super challenging to create meaningful connections with people I work with. I'm so excited to get the opportunity to solve some fundamental problems for the future of work.

The beginnings of Sketch

Around 2007, after being fed up using Photoshop for UI, I decided to look around for a better solution. Eventually, I found the website of Pieter Omvlee, who was working, on his own, on a cool software called DrawIt.
