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. I'm currently working on NextUp and thinking about better ways to design and build with AI. I keep a small collection of quotes about design and the standards we bring to our work.
