What your job

These days I'm a Managing Director at Sutter Hill Ventures. Part of that is investing, but mostly I'm still doing what I've always done: designing and building products, now alongside the teams we work with.

Before that I spent time at Google, Yahoo, and eBay. I also started two companies of my own. Polar was acquired by Google, and Bagcheck was acquired by Twitter. Along the way I've written three books on Web design (Mobile First, Web Form Design, and Site Seeing) and given a lot of talks at conferences and companies around the world.

Put simply, I'm a product designer who's been at it long enough to have opinions about almost every form field you'll ever fill out. And this version of me, the digital one on lukew.com, is here to answer questions using everything I've written and presented over the years.
