MENLO PARK, CA


WHO

James Buckhouse, Coleen Baik, Aine Zhou & Mary Alice Arnstein


WHAT

Design products & experiences


WHERE

At Sequoia’s portfolio companies


WHEN

During pivotal company moments


WHY

To help the daring build design legendary companies.

Here's how


WE DIAGNOSE WITH DATA
AND TREAT WITH DESIGN.

When we help teams ship and iterate core features, we focus on the total
experience — not just the pixels in their app. When we storyboard, we draw
what’s happening in the world and what’s happening in their product. We also
help Sequoia companies tell their story and build healthy design orgs with the
structures, processes and measurement tools they need to thrive.

Along the way, high-performing designers join the Sequoia Design Lab for
fast-paced, one-on-one, hands-on projects as Visiting Designers.

The program


MEET THE DESIGNERS

The designers who join the Sequoia Design Lab arrive with different experiences,
strengths, and points of view. What brings us together is a shared belief in
story-driven design. Some designers stay for years, working with many different
companies. Others designers come for only a few months and then join Sequoia
portfolio companies or transistion to the next phase in their careers.

JAMES BUCKHOUSE

Founder of Sequoia Design Lab,

Head of Design at Sequoia

James Buckhouse founded the Sequoia Design Lab to help startups reach their full
potential through exceptional product design. He lectures frequently at
Stanford’s d.school and the Graduate School of Business on story-driven design.
Prior to Sequoia, he led black-ops products at Twitter as their Sr. Experience
Architect. Before Twitter, earned his story stripes as a cinematographer for
DreamWorks, working on the Shrek, Madagascar and Matrix trilogies.

Coleen Baik is a designer and artist currently based in New York City. She was

foundational experiences such as Photos, Photo filters, Cross-platform Compose,

Product Design, a discipline she found aligns perfectly with her intersection of
interests in design, engineering, and tech. Constantly inspired by the people
and places around her, Mary Alice focuses on integrating her passion for people
into her work through full-process design and creating transformative products
by practicing empathy. Her deep curiosity for exploring unusual connections and
