Crates; Less sifting. More discovering.

About

After years of owning large products, taking a startup from zero to one with an IBM acquisition, today I find myself head of Product and Design at Crates, a personal browsing companion. If I had any time where I wasn’t neck deep in Crates, I’d be painting, doing landscape photography or beating my kids in Mario Kart (as a millennial they never stood a chance.)

As we wait for YC summer 2026 results, here’s what the process taught us regardless

An idea isn t a product until you believe it is and that product isn t a startup until you treat it like one. Dedicated hours, out of pocket tools, standup slacks with your co-founder even though he s your husband and sitting right next to you, knee deep in deriving a unique algorithmic formula to feed this audacious engine. Something shifts and what was an idea is now tangible.

The waiting sucks, but it s also a gift in itself. It reframes the mind. This isn t a project anymore. This is real. We wake up, clock in, schedule stand-ups, innovate, iterate and innovate again. At the end of the day, we look one last time for that email inviting us to interview, it s not there (yet, or maybe never.) But, we look at each other and are immensely grateful to have had another day to do what we love, and proud of the achievements we accomplished that day.

What's the worst AI-generated blog post you've ever seen?

I'm launching Branchpost on Wednesday. It's a tool that opens AI blog drafts as pull requests instead of "click generate, get slop". Building it I had to read a LOT of AI-written blog posts to understand what makes them obviously fake.

The worst patterns I've seen:

  • "In today's fast-paced digital landscape..."

  • 14 headings, every section says the same thing

  • The phrase "unlock the power of" appearing 4 times in 1000 words

  • Fake statistics with no source

  • A bulleted list that's just the headings rewritten

What's the slop pattern that makes you close the tab immediately?

The Burnout-Free Zone: Our North Star Goal

Imagine an organization where the word 'burnout' belongs to the past. That is the 'North Star' of the PulseBoard application.

By adopting the PSA Standard 2026, you take the first step towards a 'Burnout-Free Zone', supported by the most advanced tech on the market.
