Operations Engineering & NPI Lead

We help millions of people create homes they love

In the beginning, in 2016, we were just two best friends working on a simple idea: how to make it super easy to turn your favorite smartphone photos into awesome wall art.

Today, we have multiple product lines with millions of customers, including Mixtiles, Mixtiles Art, Easyplant, and Around. And we're shipping new products every year.

We love what we do, and we love people who love what they do. If you're that kind of person, read on.
