Stu is a Designer based in
Silicon Valley, California.

I run my own design studio where I collaborate with companies big and small, cultural and commercial.

I design at Meta's Superintelligence Lab, working on the future of multimodal AI interfaces. I joined Meta through the acquisition of PlayAI. (July, 2025)

Most recently, I led Design at PlayAI, crafting LLM-native voice experiences. (Y Combinator, W23)

Additionally, I curate streams on contemporary culture with JPEG. Join the newsletter here. (free)

Designer in Residence at NFX ('18–23), shaping the firm's venture capital brand and software stack.

Prior to their public launch, I advised, designed, and shipped a handful of core experiences for Piñata Farms.

At ClassDojo, I focused on scaling their Ed Tech network to millions of students, parents, and teachers worldwide.

Before that, I helped found and develop Ravti — an HVAC marketplace for commercial real estate. (Y Combinator, S14)

At Radius, I led design for core products.
