Write the words that will help shape the future of education. Bonus: you get to work with Mary, queen of the word nerds.

Let's talk. Not the apply-for-a-job type? DM me. Especially if you're a design manager, product designer, systems designer, producer, character animator, motion designer, illustrator, or brand designer...I'd be very interested in chatting.

My iPhone just autocorrected “mustache” to “moist ache”. Related: I now have a birthday moist ache.

Loved seeing @duolingo on Saturday Night Live last night! Proud to have helped build this awesome brand.
It’s never too late to learn, with new Duolingo for Talking to Children. #SNL

One of the contrarian views we hold at @duolingo is that allowing people to learn entirely for free is not only good for the world but good for our business. Our app is the top grossing app among all education apps worldwide, even though the others charge for learning.

New @duolingo logo! Feels lovely to have a wordmark that better matches the brand (and our mascot, Duo). underconsideration.com/brand…

Let's be real. If your playlist has good artwork *and* a portmanteau title, I'm definitely pressing play a hundo p.
