Were seeking a creative founding designer to join our 3 person team! Were funded but pre-launch so truly a ground floor opportunity for the right person.
The iPhone is now 18 years old (!!) and we all have thousands of photos and screenshotscaptured over decadesjust idling in our camera roll. Previously this was unstructured chaos.

Its a huge opportunity.

He also ran the Memories product at Snapchat and has spent the last decade obsessed with how photos shape memory and identity. Hes an experienced founder who has started three companies raised $17M hired dozens of people and worked at Snapchat and Tinder
