Tell us your craziest Cater2.me story.
Not so much a crazy story, but once, I was talking to one of our more demanding customers, and close to the end of the conversation he said, “people love you guys…” That really motivated me, because it allowed me to see we relate to even our tougher customers at an emotional level, and the outcome is positive. It’s happened to me a few times with other customers too. They appreciate the variety of the meals we provide them with.
Why UX design?
I want to help build a future platforms where interfaces disappear entirely and only conversation remains.

What is the office culture like in SF?
I really like my workmates in SF. They’re young, cool, smart, and driven. That’s a lethal combination. I also appreciate that even though they’re very busy, they always find time to help us with our tech/design questions.
If you could work in another office which one would you choose?
New York, but just for a while, because West Coast, Best Coast! Also, I’d love to work at “Cater2.me Brazil,” if it ever happens.
Describe Cater2.me in three words.
Variety. Diversity. Drive. Again, a lethal combination!
