Hello, I'm Cole from Canada — a passionate product designer with some technical know-how.

In a past life I led product design at Unbounce before moving into product management and then full-time freelance — building things is my jam.

Today, I’m the co-founder of GigHound Inc. — a software company that is building tools to empower unskilled workers with choice, convenience, and most importantly: faster pay.


In my spare time I like to help early-stage teams and build things of my own.

I'm currently building Today in Design — a weekday newsletter with the best designer news, media, resources and more. Subscribe!

I learn best by doing and I’ve found side projects to be an invaluable way to grow in my career.

Say hi if you need a hand making your project awesome.
