Summary
Josh Puckett is a designer-developer and co-founder with 12 years of experience building product and design teams that shipped features used by hundreds of millions of users at companies like Dropbox, Wealthfront, and Groupon. He blends hands-on craft—leading design systems, growth & monetization, and prototyping cultures—with early-stage venture work through Combine and Upperstudy, helping startups turn ideas into polished products quickly. Known for growing teams and driving measurable business impact (including helping Dropbox scale users from 100M to 400M and unlocking significant revenue gains at Groupon), he pairs product rigor with creative experimentation. Based in Palo Alto, he now runs Iteration, a practice marrying creativity and computation, and outside work he channels the same iterative curiosity into becoming an aspiring amateur chef.
