Toptal, San Francisco, California

A Decade of Design — From Startup to $1.5B Unicorn

As Toptal’s founding designer, I spent over 10 years shaping the company’s evolution — from early brand identity to product design, design systems, and growth initiatives. I built the frameworks and experiences that helped scale the platform into a global marketplace, supporting millions of users and driving a valuation past $1.5B.
