Patrick Dugan
Designer, Engineer
I'm Patrick Dugan — a designer and engineer who has spent the last decade and a half shipping consumer products, building design systems, and growing teams at places like Google, Meta, Quora, Nextdoor, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. These days I'm mostly thinking about how AI changes the way we make things.
