Design Mob is our corner of the internet for designers and early-stage founders who care about craft, curiosity, and making things with intention. We’re here for builders who question norms, creatives who love to experiment, and founders who aren’t afraid to get a little messy. In the Mob, we learn out loud, push our work further, and hype each other up along the way. If you’re into thoughtful design, honest conversations, and a community that stays weird in all the best ways, you’ll fit right in.

Christina Qi is the Co-Founder and CEO of Databento. Databento launched 1.5 years ago, has $40M in funding, and is the data API backbone of over 8,000 companies today. She formerly founded Domeyard LP, a hedge fund focused on HFT that traded up to $7.1 billion USD per day. Failing to earn a job offer after a Wall Street internship, Christina started Domeyard from her dorm room with $1000 in savings, in 2012. Her fund was a tiny minnow amongst the tigers of the hedge fund world, but after Michael Lewis’s Flash Boys came out in 2014 and HFT firms hid from the spotlight, Domeyard accidentally found itself in the center of the ring. Over the next decade, her company’s story was featured on the front page of Forbes and Nikkei, and quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, CNN, NBC, and the Financial Times as a result of the controversy and fascination with HFT. By a series of accidents, Christina became a voice in her industry, contributing to the World Economic Forum’s research on AI in finance and teaching Domeyard’s case study at Harvard Business School. She is grateful to be able to open up about her mistakes, and to help people turn failures into opportunities. Christina is a member of the MIT Corporation Development Committee, a standing committee of the MIT Corporation (the board of trustees). She was Co-Chair of the Board of Invest in Girls, bringing financial literacy education to underserved populations across the US. Christina also sits on the Board of Directors of The Financial Executives Alliance (FEA) Hedge Fund Group, drove entrepreneurship efforts at the MIT Sloan Boston Alumni Association, and served on the U.S. Non-Profit Boards Committee of 100 Women in Finance. Although "X Under X" lists are a gimmick, she’ll admit that Forbes 30 Under 30 made a positive impact on her life by giving her a community - friends who dragged her out of bed during the lowest days of her life. Christina earned a Bachelor of Science in Management Science from MIT in 2013 and earned her CAIA designation in 2015.

Cameron Erickson is the Co-Founder and CEO of MediCipher, a startup delivering an AI-native financial operating system designed to save the United States Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) sector from systemic financial collapse.

Prior to founding MediCipher, Cameron spent over seven years in high-stakes finance, honing expertise in M&A, financial modeling, and complex valuation at firms including Ernst & Young and Roth Capital Partners.

Under his leadership, MediCipher has secured initial angel investment and has been accepted into the prestigious Google for Startups Cloud, Microsoft for Startups, and NVIDIA Inception programs.

Technical Product Manager leveraging linguistics & AI to build smarter products.

I work with growth-stage HealthTech, FinTech, and EdTech leaders who feel stuck. Growth has slowed, releases miss the mark, and teams feel disconnected from users and the business. It looks like a process problem, but it’s actually a product experience problem. As a Product Experience Architect, I leverage my PX360 Builder Advantage system to map how buyers, users, and builders experience your product end-to-end, surface where friction and disconnects block value, and align the team around what matters most. That clarity leads to better decisions, faster value delivery, products the market actually wants, and teams that feel confident about how they build together.

Full-stack developer and storyteller building digital experiences that help people feel less alone. With a CS background, I've led platforms for Rivian, Accenture, Verizon, DC Comics, and MD Anderson, serving over a billion users across healthcare, L&D, and content. Co-founded 2x VC-backed startups. My work has been covered in Businessweek, Buzzfeed, Vice, and The Guardian. Currently at Vendr (SaaS spend management). Relocated to Salt Lake City from New Orleans. When not coding, I'm running, mountain biking, or skiing the Cottonwood canyons with my wife and two kids. Excited to connect with Utah's tech community!

When I first began coding, I was driven by an insatiable curiosity to understand how software worked and how to make my own. I still chase technical solutions every day, but I've also grown to love the art of building the right thing at the right time in the right way. And while I'm at it, I look for every opportunity to use my hard-won experience to improve the team and organization that I find myself in, so that we all win together. I've helped build engineering teams from the ground up and also directed sets of teams. I enjoy all aspects of hands on building, management, and strategy!

Utah Tech Week is a smorgasbord of experiences and events hosted by startups, VC firms, community organizations — anyone who supports the startup community. The “why” behind Utah Tech Week is to cultivate “happy collisions” in the Utah tech community; the kind that lead to friendships, partnerships, and deals.There’s no cost to attend or sponsor, the only requirement is a desire to help build Utah’s tech scene.

I am a quick learner with a track record of solving technology and people problems. I communicate effectively, work flexibly on a team, and am happiest working on solutions to difficult problems and situations. Currently seeking my next opportunity.
