Hi, I’m Dustin Senos (he/him). Welcome to my personal website. 👋

I have worked in the tech industry for nearly two decades, drawn by curiosity about how things work. Currently, I am the Head of Design at The Browser Company of New York, where we’re building a better browser to make your time on the internet more enjoyable.

Before The Browser Company, I founded Small Animal Studios, a digital product studio. Prior to that, I was Head of Design at Medium, where Obama, Tony Hawk, and others share their thoughts and stories. I also spent time as a software engineer at Disney, leading a team that built the game engine for Club Penguin.

To stay sharp, I take on interesting, challenging projects across a range of industries. Here are some examples of my work:

• Led a redesign for the The White House’s We The People platform to increase the quality of submitted petitions.
• Led the design for the launch of TechCrunch’s Extra Crunch premium membership.
• Led the product and design for IFTTT’s partner dashboard and feedback systems.
• Helped design the first eero iOS app and onboarding experience (acquired by Amazon).
• Hosted an on-site design sprint for Figure1 to increase user engagement.
• Branded and helped design Talkshow’s iOS app (acquired by Medium).
• Led the redesign of LaunchKit’s various tools (acquired by Google).
• Co-engineered a social site for Samsung to accompany a new mobile phone launch.
• Consulted with Dreamworks to suggest improvements for a virtual world.
• Led the design for Feminist Frequency to improve brand presence and increase donations.
• Lived in the Sierra Nevada Foothills for a month, donating design and product consulting to a nature conservancy.
• Wrote iOS code for Facebook on their ████████ project

I also ship personal projects like Out of Office Hours, Wallcat, and LittleIpsum. I have a bit of open source software on Github which I wrote for Twitter and Medium.

I’m semi-active on Twitter and Instagram, and publish longer thoughts on Medium. I’m often reading and have recently listed the books I’m reading, read, and soon to start.

Various, ongoing projects:

• Calo Camera — A camera that values your attention.
• Sharemark — An email publishing platform.
• Articles.page — An updating list of evergreen articles in response to events at work, such as “I need to setup a career path framework.”
• Mixtape Songs — Currently a collection of friends’ “Favorite ten albums from the last ten years.” lists.

Select writing:

• What to talk about when we talk about diversity
• Have you tried Junkfood.app?
• How to get value from wireframes
• An approach to projects, furthering a cause by turning down work, and failing to make $ from Wallcat
• Creating useful design principles
• Your friends are more than their job titles (and so are you)
• On dashes, hyphens, and other important aspects of life
• Holiday office hours

As a personal goal I’ve challenged myself to speak in front of groups of strangers:

• Product Design — Munich, Germany
• Design Details #20 — San Francisco, USA
• Design Details Live @ Epicurrence — Oahu Hawaii, USA
• The Web Ahead — NYC, USA
