Ben Pepin
Product Design Leader
I’m a software designer and manager from San Francisco. Currently, I work for myself - helping new companies get their first version off the ground.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked in small startups as a product designer and within larger organizations as a manager or director. I have built teams, stood up design systems, led large cross platform overhauls, design audits.
