Top SchoolChristopher Smeder is a design leader and founder with 14 years of experience crafting product-market fit from startup to enterprise scale, currently leading multi-group design efforts at Asana across AI governance, permissions, platform, and communications. He co-founded the YC-backed Fibo and led product design at Zeus, scaling consumer and operations apps that supported thousands of homes and materially drove revenue and fundraising outcomes. At Mindbody he was the company’s first UX designer, steering redesigns that supported its growth into a public company and billions in payments processed. He blends hands-on product design with strategic vision—co-authoring multi-year enterprise strategies at Asana that helped win large customers—and frequently pairs ethnographic research with data-driven experimentation. Based in San Francisco, he brings a rare mix of early-stage founder grit and enterprise product craft, plus a background in software engineering and satellite ground-station work that informs a pragmatic, systems-minded design approach.
