Today we are excited to announce that Ryan Freitas will be joining Plinky as Director of Product Design.
As VentureBeat says about Ryan:
“If you don’t know the name, you know the work.”
During his last three years at the top-notch user experience consultancy Adaptive Path, he had a hand in Plazes (just acquired by Nokia), Sphere (acquired by AOL) and many more. Over the last nine months Ryan spent the majority of his time on a complete overhaul and redesign of MySpace that is receiving rave reviews.
Ryan’s history of putting the user first in his product designs and delivering engaging experiences has us stoked to have him as a key member of the team. Welcome aboard Ryan!
PS: If you would like to work for Plinky too, we are looking for a great mid/senior software engineer/tech lead (CMS experience is a plus) and an AJAX/Javascript developer (PHP/Ruby experience is a plus). We have great benefits, a fun-small team, near BART in the East Bay (25 min from SF) and like to build exciting products. Please drop us a line at jobs@plinky.com if you want to find out more.
