Austin Knight
A design leader who still designs. Born and raised in Kentucky, I'm a self-taught designer who dropped out of college to pursue a passion. I had founded a nonprofit to fight human trafficking, and it was growing quickly — and required a lot of design work. Following that success, I went on to channel my love for design into a startup, then joined HubSpot in the early days to help establish its design practice and scale the product to $500M+ ARR, and eventually made my way to Google where I designed and launched things that are being used by more than 3.5B people around the world.
