Chadd Weston is Chief Design Officer at Calaxy, a next-generation social platform redefining the creator-fan relationship. Chadd was the first project hire back in 2020 when Calaxy was just a pile of word documents. Since then, he has spearheaded Calaxy’s visionary design and unmatched user experience to realize a next-generation creator economy.
Chadd is most widely known for his creation of Calaxy’s little alien character, Myro (“My-ro”). In 2022, the inaugural Calaxy Collectibles NFT drop, “Myro: An Origin Story”, was entirely created by Chadd and sold out in under 10 minutes. The collection of 26 Myro NFTs has been featured in venues at leading industry events including Consensus and NFT.NYC.
Over the last decade, Chadd has worked with hundreds of VCs and early-stage startups to help tell their story and secure funding through design mastery. Now, he is leveraging the power of design to help mainstream audiences access Web3 experiences. His philosophy is centered around “starting with customer experience and working back to the technology” to ensure an ergonomic and slick end product that pushes the boundaries of contemporary design in emerging tech.
