Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEarl Carlson is a senior product design manager with 12 years of experience shaping product direction in ambiguous and emerging spaces, now leading design at Docker while co-founding a studio developing medical products. He has a track record of growing and scaling design teams—doubling headcount at DigitalOcean and guiding design through an IPO and major upmarket expansion. Earl blends product craftsmanship with systems thinking, having shipped accessibility-first design systems that cut page load times dramatically and supported multiple acquisitions. His background spans high-impact work at Facebook (helping drive an 80% drop in fake news views) to hardware-integrated UX for Nokia’s adventure camera. Comfortable with both hands-on product work and organizational strategy, he often surfaces pragmatic processes for integrating acquisitions and cross-functional collaboration. Outside the org chart, a global travel sabbatical informed his empathy for how products affect diverse populations.
