Hi, I'm Joshua Wold
(He/him, last name rhymes with Cold)
I'm so excited about Elicit.Making products that actually help the world matters. Joining a team that's committed to shipping fast is a refreshing part of that.My background is non-traditional.I co-founding a startup at 19, focused on helping newspapers transition online. The company was a tremendous learning opportunity, and after five years I needed to pay the bills with a baby on the way.I then joined a startup, learned a lot about hiring, building products, cross-team functionality, e-commerce, uses research, and supporting junior designers.With the rise of remote I jumped at the chance to join an enterprise agency. Over the next five years I brought design and product practices to the company, led in hiring and growing the design team, and supported our largest clients across enterprise and b2b projects. I worked with teams at Google, Beachbody, PMC, and many more.Over the past three years I've supported early stage startups as their first designer and as a fractional Head of Design. I've been diving in deep to understand attribution, conversion, and retention. I've also been learning how to speed up time from idea to code and get real data to make decisions.I'd like to take the next step and join your team and continue to learn and shape design at a startup with a mission I love.
