Founders & team

Dorian Bach

Founder

I’m the co-founder and Chief Design Officer at Joy (YC S16), where we built a platform that helps people plan and celebrate major life events. I lead design and product, and write code when needed. Before Joy, I led design at Microsoft on Windows Phone and Azure. I like turning complex problems into simple, beautiful products that scale. Looking to connect with others building consumer tools, especially where great design creates real leverage.
