Top SchoolChris Annetts is a product designer with 11 years’ experience crafting usable web apps, SaaS products, and transactional flows from early concept to shipped features. He has co-founded and led design teams, scaled a boutique studio to a seven-person agency, and most recently improved developer-facing documentation and onboarding at GitBook.
