Studio Twentyone
Your design partner for all things bitcoin. Past clients include Fedi, Fold, Onramp, Mutiny, and Zeus.
Here's how I can help:
User experience strategy calls
We’ll zoom out and find gaps in product storytelling or product strategy. Together we’ll find the 80/20 effort/impact projects to tackle next.
Interface & experience audit
aka “I need some tips of where we can improve” - A detailed design critique of part of your website or product. Guided by years of bitcoin product and design experience. Organized neatly by effort, impact, priority.
Design projects
Design a new feature or product, or upgrade the experience of an existing feature or product.
Design QA & engineering handoff
Code is the final source of truth. How closely does the final output match the blueprints? I can help with that.

















Austin Bitcoin Design Club
I run a monthly meetup where we go through design news, updates, education, and design critiques. We get 30-50 people every month! Hosted in the Bitcoin Commons in downtown Austin, TX.
Public appearances
I had a great time on the largest bitcoin podcast (What Bitcoin Did). I've also spoken about bitcoin and design at numerous conferences and events, from TABConf in Atlanta, to Bitcoin Park in Nashville, to Bitcoin4India in Mumbai, India.
