Andy Chung

Designer in West Berkeley

About

I’m a designer and founder based in Berkeley, California. Most recently I founded New Layer, a consumer software company that makes products like Read.cv and Posts.

Prior to that I was Director of Product Design at Quip where I helped manage and grow the team, and worked on both the core product and 0-1 initiatives like Slides and Live Apps.

Before that I was a part of the product design team at Facebook where I worked on products like Reactions, News Feed, and Photos.

A third space for the Read.cv community. Available on the app store and the web.

2021

Read.cv started as a small personal tool for creating online résumés, but has quickly grown into a lively creative platform and community of over 100K like-minded people. In addition to creating a professional identity for themselves, designers, engineers, artists, and builders alike use Read.cv to find creative inspiration, job opportunities, and new collaborators.
