Hey there! 👋
I go by ghanbak on the interwebs, but my real name is Ethan. I'm a designer, builder, engineer, and tinkerer.
For the last 14 years, I've worked with early stage startups bringing them to product market fit or nice exits. My career has focused on clean and elegant UX, design systems, and prototyping wild ideas. Most recently, I've been experimenting optimizing my design workflow with AI.
Along the way, I've tinkered with different ideas and projects. My favorite was a fitness club called Lumberjacked. And I'm currently working on an app specifically for Star Wars book worms to discover, catelogue, and find the next addition for their collection.
