Will Miner

Hi, I'm Will Miner, a designer and product leader based in New York.

I'm a design leader focused on building tools that help people think, collaborate, and get work done. Currently, I lead design at Slack for the developer ecosystem, exploring how agents can make people's working lives simpler, more pleasant, and more productive.

My background spans design, development, and organizational leadership. Over the past fifteen years I've worked at startups and big companies, often in new problem spaces where the shape of the product isn't clear yet. I care about usability, efficiency, and the small details that add up to a pleasant experience.

Outside of work, I enjoy trail running, indoor gardening, fly fishing, art history, and drum and bass music. I live in the Hudson Valley.
