My name is Ty Wilkins and I'm a Design Director, Illustrator, and Venture Partner based in Austin, Texas. I've worked for fast-growing startups and design studios, and also as an independent design consultant.

As a freelancer, I've worked with Meta, Stanford, Target, Modal, Cognition, GitLab, Auth0, and Loom. I also partnered with Google over four years to brand numerous products including Google Maps, Google AI, Google Analytics, Google Photos, Google Fi, and many more. Additionally, I've branded prominent open-source projects, including JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and Celery.

As an editorial illustrator, I've worked with Monocle, Wired, Bloomberg, Golf Digest, and ESPN. You can find some of my illustration work here.

As an angel investor, I've invested in several high-growth startups, including Cognition, Visual Electric, Vercel, Spline, and Parafin. I'm also a Venture Partner at Chapter One.

As an early employee at Robinhood, my work spanned branding, product design, illustration, and marketing. Previously, I served as the Brand Director at Scale, where I led an incredibly talented team of Brand Designers, Web Designers, Front-end Engineers, and 3D Artists. Most recently I was the Design Director at Harvey. Currently I work independently as a full-time Freelance Brand Designer.
