Summary
Daniel Nordh is a founder and product-focused design leader with 12+ years building consumer-facing digital products and startups, most recently founding Peg, the first self-custodial stablecoin wallet that removed crypto UX friction for cross-border payments. He previously led Design, Research and Writing for consumer products at Coinbase and core product design at Pinterest, and sold his prior startup Curator to Pinterest after it reached Top 10 in 76 countries. Equally at home in product strategy and hands-on design, he blends architecture and urbanism sensibilities with deep experience shipping secure, user-first fintech and crypto experiences. Daniel is also a co-founder of the Bitcoin Design Foundation and a founding contributor to the Bitcoin Design Community, advocating for open-source UX work in crypto. His eclectic background includes urban design advising for Stockholm and the Mayor of London, early web entrepreneurship in the 1990s, and even label management in the music industry—an uncommon mix that informs his interdisciplinary approach to product and brand. Based in Porto, he combines startup grit and design leadership with a long view on systems, policy and user trust.
