Josh Brewer is a typographic, web, interaction, mobile, product designer living and working in San Francisco, California.

Josh is a vocal advocate for Design Leadership, writing and speaking about the challenges of building Design-led companies and products. As an active Advisor to several startups, a mentor at the Designer Fund, and part of the Kleiner, Perkins, Caulfield & Beyer Design Council, Josh continues to influence the centrality of Design in early and late-stage companies.

In addition to being co-creator of 52 Weeks Of UX, Josh most recently served as Principal Designer at Twitter where he led the design of key initiatives across the Twitter product. His unique perspective and experience are why, in 2012, Fast Company named him one of "fifty designers shaping the future of design."

Prior to joining Twitter, Josh was Director of User Experience at Socialcast, an Enterprise social communication platform, which was acquired by VMware in 2011.

Josh believes design is about relationships—at every level—and spends his time working to better understand and reinforce those connections.

When he's not designing something, he is most likely galavanting around the Bay Area with his wife, Dana, and their two kids, Ruth and Dillon.
