Arc and the Browser Company

I joined the Browser Company as founding designer in 2020, with nothing other than a vague idea that browsing could be better than this. In the beginning, I worked with our founding engineers to rapidly prototype browser features, exploring the space and searching for product-market fit amongst ourselves. In the time since, I've had the privilege of building and refining Arc with an incredible team of designers — Kristina Varshavskaya, Dustin Senos, Karla Cole, Omar Elfanek, Dara Oke, Peter Vidani and others. Some day I'll write up the story of the product. Until then, here are some random artifacts.

An early prototype of the Sidebar with Lists (now known as folders.)

Some parts of Arc I designed initial versions of, or worked closely on: Command Bar, Split View, Focus Mode (hidden sidebar), Little Arc, Notes, Easel, Previews, PIP, Mini Audio Player, Boosts, Arc Max, Arc for iOS.

I designed and built the first version of the company's website
An early prototype of a zoomable tab overview, before we'd settled on vertical tabs
A fun website I made in Blender for our Series A
Some of my favorite touches from our mobile app: Spaces view, referral ticket, and share sheet.
