Hi, I'm Darrin.

Product Designer | Bay Area, CA

I’m currently at LaunchDarkly, where I’m busy understanding how software companies both big and small deploy features. It also gets pretty meta since we use LaunchDarkly to release new features in LaunchDarkly! (°◇°;)

Before diving into UX and design, I started out in computer science and game development. Combining these disciplines taught me to start thinking more holistically — how ideas spark strategies, and how designs must be brought to life through engineering. Now I’m the type who loves to uncover deeper insights and connections that might otherwise be missed. I believe that subtle things can be significant!

When I'm not behind a screen, you can probably find me on a photo walk or going for a drive in my Miata. I’ve also developed a love for pulling espresso shots with my Flair Pro 2 and making matcha tea, both of which help me find moments to be mindful and slow down.

Want to chat? You can connect with me on LinkedIn or Bluesky. Or you can also drop me a note at hello@darrin.design if email is more your jam. ✌️
