Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Stinnette is a design leader with nearly two decades of experience building and scaling product design organizations at high-growth tech companies, currently serving as Director of Product Design at Samsara. He has led founding design efforts for products like Dropbox Paper and drove Search & Discovery experiences at Pinterest, translating early concepts into features that scaled to hundreds of thousands of users. At Front he grew a three-person team into a 30-person horizontal design org covering product, brand, content, research, systems, and ops, establishing hiring, performance, and production processes that matched company growth. Rooted in Chicago design education and an early fascination with creative tooling (thanks to a high school librarian and a pirated Photoshop), he remains hands-on across visual craft and cross-functional product strategy. Known for blending art, technology, and pragmatic process, he brings both creative curiosity and operational rigor to complex product challenges.
