πAbout me
Max is a Co-Founder and Founding Designer at Troupe, where he's building an iOS app aimed at taking the headache out of group travel. Prior to Troupe, he was a Product Designer at Percolate (now Seismic), where he led design efforts for the Core product area, focusing on settings architecture, metadata management, user roles/permissions, object sharing, and login flows. Before changing careers, he worked in Sales and Partnerships at Google for 4 years, managing YouTube creators and learning everything there is to know about the Google Ads ecosystem. Because he once wanted to be a diplomat, he has a B.A. in International Relations from Brown University and knows more global capitals than he's comfortable admitting to.

Recommendations
Hereβs what Merit users have said about Max
Max was great at providing feedback that was relevant to where I am in my career and offered some great advice based on his experience. It was a super helpful session and I would highly recommend booking a session with him!
I had the pleasure of speaking with Max, and I cannot express how grateful I am for his invaluable advice on navigating the design field. Max is an absolute gem when it comes to sharing his journey, expertise, and overall insights. He shared insights on bootcamps vs self-learning and helped me recognize how my existing skills could be leveraged in design and more in such a short call. Max's ability to think outside the box and his direct approach made our conversation very comfortable but informative. I'm truly grateful for his recommendations and look forward to connecting with him again.
