Dustin Larimer is a product-focused design and engineering leader with 13 years in startup roles and over 20 years building for the internet, currently heading design at Endgame. He thrives in zero-to-one environments, combining founder-level resourcefulness with hands-on design and frontend engineering to move ideas from whiteboard to production in days. Dustin has led brand, product, docs, and design system transformations at companies like Macrometa and Apple, and as a former founder runs high-intensity facilitation sprints to unstick early teams. Practical and measurement-driven, he has delivered sharp growth wins—like a 60% homepage conversion lift and a 66% activation boost—by aligning UX with business impact. Trained as a designer with an MFA in Design Management, he brings a rare blend of craft, technical depth, and an appetite for the non-obvious strategic move. Based in California, he prefers operating where clarity is scarce and speed matters, building small teams that punch well above their size.
