👋🏾 Hello!

My name is Will Miner. On a good day, this is what I look like!

This is my home on the web.

I'm a software designer based in NY and I currently work for Slack. I lead design teams focusing on automation, AI, and productivity.

I have over 15 years of experience designing, developing, and leading software projects. I like working with smart, humble people on problems that matter (or at least don't make things worse).

These kinds of pages always feel weird and stilted. I never know what to put here. Anyways, if you’d like to chat, send me a message on LinkedIn!

I sometimes give talks and publish my writing on the web.
