      <p>Hey! I’m <em>Des.</em> I’m a co-founder of <a href="https://www.intercom.com">Intercom</a>, along with <a href="https://www.eoghanmccabe.com">Eoghan McCabe</a>, <a href="http://x.com/ciaran_lee">Ciaran Lee</a>, and <a href="http://x.com/davebarrett">David Barrett</a>.  I've spent about 10 years there, primarily working in product and marketing. That’s probably how you have heard of me. Well it's either that or you've read some of
  <i><a href="/writing/">my writing</a>,</i> seen me give
  <i><a href="/speaking/">a presentation</a>,</i> heard me on
  <i><a href="/podcast-appearances/">a podcast</a>,</i>
  or found me through <i><a href="https://twitter.com/destraynor">Twitter</a>.</i></p>

<p>In any case, <em>hi!</em> This site is pretty rough, it's an attempt to consolidate my online works, and give me a non-work place I can write about things personal to me, but not relevant or useful
  to Intercom. Why would you want to read those? I don't know, I'm still thinking about that, but I want to write them, so here we are.</p>
