Alasdair Monk is a software designer.

I'm founding designer at poolside, a new ml startup for crafting good code.

Previously, I led the Product Design, Creative Design and Design Engineering teams at Vercel as VP of Design.

before that, I worked as a Principal Designer at HashiCorp and Experience Architect at Heroku.

I like to spend my days building things for developers and my nights building things for myself. In my spare time I make Mac apps as one half of replay.software.
