Rich Thornett

• software developer
• product designer

Rich is the co-founder of Dribbble, a show and tell site for designers.

He leads software development and product design at Dribbble, which he talks about in interviews at .net magazine, the Ruby on Rails Podcast and Founders Talk.

He's built web applications for over a decade at blue chips and startups, but is happiest playing a big role on a small team, designing and developing products. He codes in Ruby on Rails and strives to create applications with sharp focus and simple form.

He gave a talk at DIBI Conference 2011 and is excited to be speaking at Valio Con 2012.

Rich lives in Salem, Massachusetts with his wonderful, witty wife, thunderous son and unstoppable daughter. He loves basketball, running, wordplay and beer. Occasionally, he dunks.
