Cory Etzkorn

Hi I’m Cory — a software engineer and designer with 15+ years of experience building generational products and iconic brands. I believe the best teams and products are built where design and engineering intersect.

I most recently spent 4 years as the first design engineer at Notion where I built the marketing website (notion.com) and established the foundation of the brand.

Previously, I worked on design systems at The Wall Street Journal. Prior to that, I led front-end engineering at Fuzzco. In 2016, I founded PlayList, a social network for musicians.

After hours, I teach power vinyasa yoga and take long baths. Once upon a time, I was a Hawaiian coffee farmer.
