Hi, I'm Wells.

I'm currently leading design as the founding designer at Runway.

I also helped design and scale Envoy as Head of Product and Design, co-founded Hack Design to make product design education accessible to anyone, and co-founded Bionic Hippo where we made websites for music industry giants like like Underoath, O.A.R., and Young The Giant.

I love the craft of design, repairing vintage watches, and hacking iPods—I'm a curious, life-long learner.
