Saha Hammari is a designer, writer, and entrepreneur in NYC. He is currently Director of Design Systems at Rippling. Previously, he led teams at legendary companies like Gusto and Casetext.
I contributed my viral essay on design culture to this seminal design anthology from Princeton Architectural Press. My essay explores the contemporary emotional landscape of design and how online culture has shaped what designers build and why.
Joshua Reeves, Gusto CEO
From 2021-23 I was a design leader at Gusto, a startup with over $500 million in annual recurring revenue. I led a team that redesigned Gusto Payroll, Gusto's core product and one of the world’s most used and loved payroll services. Along the way we built a new foundation for Gusto’s growth.
Jake Heller, Casetext CEO
From 2017-2021 I was the Director of Design at Casetext. I helped Casetext grow from a tiny legal research startup to powerhouse by helping to create the industry’s first truly revolutionary A.I. product. In 2023 Casetext was purchased for $650,000,000. Six hundred and fifty million dollars! As the Director of Design, I built the incredible design team that shipped many innovative products that drove the business.
