Summary
Brian Smith is a product-driven founder and design-led technology executive with nine years of experience turning ideas into polished, revenue-focused digital products. As Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Raindrop Digital and former VP of Product and Design at FullStack Labs, he blends rapid prototyping, user-centered design, and AI-enhanced engineering to deliver MVPs, SaaS, and internal tools in weeks rather than months. He scaled design teams from a single designer to 50+ and led cross-functional roadmaps that aligned product strategy with measurable business outcomes. Equally comfortable sketching interactive prototypes as he is implementing operational processes, Brian brings entrepreneurial grit from founding multiple creative ventures and a background in commercial real estate marketing that honed his storytelling through visuals. Based in Roseville, CA, he pairs a UCLA Design | Media Arts degree and an Anderson entrepreneurship certificate with a practical bias toward shipping impactful, user-first solutions.
