Top SchoolSam Stephenson is a product-focused founder and designer with 11 years of experience building user-centered digital products and LLM-powered workflows from London. As Co-founder and Designer of Granola he’s shaping an AI notepad that turns messy meeting notes into actionable work, combining product design sensibilities with hands-on prototyping and product strategy. His background spans startups and consultancies—from co-founding Sow and building an MVP for local food networks to leading product design at Carv and Swim Smooth—paired with behavioral design work for major clients like Amazon and Tesco. Sam also writes code: he’s contributed full-stack script work to the popular Raycast ecosystem, refactoring JavaScript into portable shell scripts for Google Maps commands. That blend of behavioural science, practical engineering, and iterative user research gives him a knack for shipping simple, human-first interfaces for complex problems.
