Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDave Gorum is a creative founder and producer with nine years of focused experience helping other founders bring play, ritual, and relational design into their projects. He co-founded Play Into Being and Relational.org to run workshops, cohorts, and incubators that treat projects as living relationships—balancing product design, experience direction, and community facilitation. His earlier work building Carbonmade and Ponder.to combines deep product leadership with a penchant for playful social tools, from portfolio systems to multiplayer journaling and experimental web3 experiences. Comfortable wearing designer, producer, and host hats, he specializes in drawing out what’s most alive in a project and helping founders renegotiate their relationship to doing the work. Based in Austin, he blends long-form creative practice with pragmatic startup chops and a soft spot for weird, human-centered systems.
