Naturally, Sam’s been owning the design for all of our projects and working very closely with me and the engineers. He even bridged outside of product design and made all the article assets for the 2022 end-of-year community lists. Much like his approach to contribution, Sam has been plugging away behind the scenes, revolutionizing our internal design system and processes so that whenever we’re embarking on an initiative or implementing a new feature, engineers have designs to spec (an industry standard that was sorely needed at Genius in The World Before Sam!). As part of his application, he demonstrated that knowledge by putting together a really cool assessment of how we could improve the contribution experience on Genius, including a mock redesign of the “Add a song” page! □ Sam’s a super talented designer in his own right, and his deep familiarity with Genius gave him a huge advantage during the hiring process. In fact, when we hired him, I was pleasantly surprised to find we had a message history on Genius dating back to 2018! But he’s been a part of the Genius community for much longer than that, earning the Editor role more than five years ago and quietly contributing a lot of rock transcriptions (he’s a big fan of The Black Keys). I’m beyond excited to share a long overdue update that Genius now has a Product Designer! His name is Sam and he started in this role about eight months ago.
