About

Short Story is a style discovery platform to help petite women find clothes that fit. The average American woman is 5'4" and petite, yet this remains an enormously underserved segment. We’re a team of curators passionate about finding style, quality, and fit for petite women. Our mission is to remove the “ugh” from the shopping equation and support petite women in telling their stories, stylishly and confidently.

I'm the cofounder and CTO of Short Story. I also invest in YC companies and try to be as supportive as I can. In college, I co-founded a startup that sold textbooks to students across 117 campuses. Before Short Story, I worked at Tower Research and Waymo.
