Builds with care. In the pixels, the pauses, the parts no one asked about.

Atrios — introductions for your network

Atrios

The best products you use came from a friend, not an ad. Atrios is built on that instinct: you think about what your friends would actually want, curate a few, and get rewarded for the care. We're building the version that does, backed by a16z.

I shape the Atrios experience. I designed every screen and write the code behind them, backend to frontend. Every screen, every line, every detail that makes it feel less like software.

Blind Hangouts

The people you want to see most are usually the ones you see least. Not because you don't care, but because caring costs coordination.

I founded Blind Hangouts, backed by Founders Inc, to take the coordination off your plate. It learns what you and your friends like to do, finds a time that works for everyone, and books the plan. There's always a small surprise in it too.

Waverly

Waverly was my first real job in a startup. Employee #2, Betaworks-backed, an AI social platform for finding your people. We got to 10K users and were covered by BBC News, BetaKit, and Collision.

My job was growth. What I actually did was fall in love with building. I kept asking why people weren't coming back, and every answer lived inside the product, so eventually I was in there designing and writing it. Everything I do now started there.

We were trying to make recommendations out of language, before ChatGPT, before the models could really do it. We were right about language being the thing. I've been building on that bet ever since.

Story

Artist on the Move 🌍

Hi, I'm Kira

👋
                                                                                                                             I paint. Mostly portraits, often of strangers, which means spending a while looking closely at someone and trying to get them right. That's more or less what I do at work too. I keep building products about how people find each other. An AI that plans your social life, a platform for finding your people, a marketplace that runs on who knows whom. Same question every time, different shape. I got here sideways: finance, then the founding team at Waverly, then a CS master's at Penn so I could build things instead of describing them. Now I design the screens and write the code. Painting teaches you what to leave out, and product works the same way: most details don't matter, and the few that do, matter enormously.
