Austin Valleskey

Head of Design & Research, Base

I believe there‘s magic in software—the kind that only happens when product, design, and engineering work as one.

I live somewhere in the middle of all that. From concept to fully-polished product, I craft magical digital experiences with design and code.

This website is a collection of some of those special moments, when all the moving pieces finally clicked.✦

I‘ve been fortunate to work alongside some truly amazing peers at Cash App, Honk, MoneyKit, Family, and now Coinbase.
