Hello, I'm Patrick.
I'm a seasoned product designer with 12+ years across design, engineering, and brand strategy roles.
In the last decade, I designed three 9-10 figure B2B cybersecurity startups loved by that community:
Tenable (IPO in 2018)
Signal Sciences (Acquired by Fastly in 2020)
JupiterOne (Series C)
My hybrid background across design, engineering, and branding helps me bridge the gap between disciplines and create experiences that maximize the impact of software at scale.

Is a design background just another skill when starting a business? Or is it a big advantage? Patrick shared a wonderful article where some great folks describe their journeys and learnings. Super recommend for anyone wondering if starting a business is the right thing to do after a design career.

Thank you @itspatmorgan for building community and leading the way 😌. I moved to LA 2 years ago in the middle of Covid lockdown, lost in a large org, not yet aware of my own scar tissue. Refreshing to talk shop across a range of builders!
Kaitie Chambers

This is brilliant! 😍 I love how you break down the steps and zoom out all the way to file management and then back down to the details of frame naming. Incredible!

"Better by Design" was the first newsletter I subscribed to when I decided to kickstart my Twitter adventure. And it has never disappointed. Every edition is complex, comprehensive, well written, and well studied.

The most advanced technology is not always the best answer. This article by Patrick Morgan makes a very important point in the field of product management. A new innovation must push the need but should still relate to the existing paradigms in the customers' mind. This is even more important for enterprise solutions.
