About

Pixelapse was a Palo Alto startup founded in 2011 by Shravan Reddy and Min Ming Lo, born from Lo's observation of chaotic design workflows during a Google UX internship. The company built visual version control and collaboration software, often described as GitHub for designers, that let freelance designers and creative teams track file revisions, iterate, and collect feedback in one platform. Pixelapse grew to serve tens of thousands of designers before being acquired by Dropbox in January 2015, with its collaboration and workflow ideas folded into the core Dropbox product.
