About

I'm Josh Sroufe, a 40-year-old California native with over 18 years experience designing meaningful, user-centered products.

I led design efforts at Apple and now head the design team at Pulse Labs, where I’ve created solutions for global leaders like Google and Amazon shaping thoughtful, human-first experiences that make an impact.

A lifelong learner and hands-on leader, I’m driven by curiosity, grounded in craft, and fueled by meaningful collaboration.
