Bio
Eve is Head of Design at Y Combinator. She joined YC as the youngest member of the admissions team, where she read more than 25,000 startup applications before teaching herself to code and moving into engineering. These days, she works across design and software, building the products founders use and the internal tools that help YC partners support thousands of startups every year. She believes great design isn't what looks best, but what best achieves a given goal. She's happiest building products that make it easier for founders to take a leap, bet on themselves, and make something people want.

Eve Bouffard is a product designer at Y Combinator (she titles herself a design engineer, bridging design and code) who co-led the redesign of the YC homepage. She broke down that project on a special episode of YC's Design Review series, covering the motivations, the unconventional process, and lessons for founders building their own sites. Attendees interested in how design decisions get made and shipped inside a top-tier tech organization would benefit from her practitioner perspective.
