I’m Casey — a designer with a background in marketing and communications. I care a lot about using design to create memorable experiences. Currently based in San Francisco, California.
I’m currently working at Ambarella, a computer vision chip design company, doing marketing and communications. In my current role, I work as designer, helping create written content and graphic assets for our product marketing teams. I was recently working on contract as a product designer at Simmer List. They’re a stealth start up building in the AI and restaurant discovery space.
Before Ambarella, I worked at Each Green Corner, a nonprofit focused on addressing food insecurity in the Bay Area. I led the operations team, designing and writing learning content as well as crafting scalable processes for all facets of the organization. I was the 10th hire and helped scale the team up to 35 people during my tenure.
My design beliefs center around the idea of “unreasonable hospitality,” shamelessly stolen from Will Guidara (former GM of Eleven Madison Park), seeking out ways to create extraordinary experiences and giving users more than they could ever possibly expect. As a designer, I want to go above and beyond to make users feel special and valued, being intentional and creative in the pursuit of thoughtful design.
