Bio
Jimmy Byrum
I’ve worked closely with Adriano for about 2 years now- he brings a thoughtful, analytical, and passionate perspective to the team. He’s a big guy with a big personality and he brings both good humor to the office and also a dedication to getting good work done. He works very well with engineers- we always find a good solution that is practical from an engineering standpoint while creating something useful for our users. I’ve very much enjoyed working with him, and hope to work with him again in the future.

Adriano—a gentle giant. He’s a powerhouse of intelligent and unique product thought. Adriano always has a fresh take on any idea, regarding both product and design. A pleasant balance of confidence, he isn’t fearful of voicing his strong opinions, but is also willing to listen and adhere to the thoughts of others when needed. Adriano is very understanding of the design process and how product and design must work together, making compromises to achieve the best possible outcome. As a designer, he’s a delightful product manager to work with!
