About

I'm Sean Goodwin, a software designer, lifelong learner, and father. Presently I work for Atlassian as a Principal Product Designer, leading teams developing new AI products for enterprises. I'm based in Washington, DC, but grew up in the midwest.

Previously I launched the first AI SKU at Loom in 2023, you can listen to my team and I talk about it on Dive Club. I write an infrequent newsletter called Shipping to Prod, about the process between a new idea and getting it out in the real world.

Work should feel like play.
