Patrick Dugan
Designer, Engineer
I've spent the last decade and a half shipping consumer products, building design systems, and growing teams at places like Google, Meta, Quora, Nextdoor, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. These days I'm building NextUp and rethinking how I design and build with AI, and for it.
