Jason Putorti

Jason Putorti is the Co-Founder of Votizen, a company that connects registered voters to their local, regional, and national representatives via social media. He was the first Designer in Residence at Bessemer Venture Partners, which he joined in late November of 2009. It was through BVP partner David Cowan that he met his co-founder David Binetti.

Jason is best known as the Lead Designer of Mint.com from March 2007. He was responsible for the user experience, visual design, and user interface for the product, as well as the brand image. He briefly stayed on as the Lead on Creative Direction for the Personal Finance division after Mint was acquired by intuit.

Previously Jason founded his own creative agency, Novaurora, and co-founded College Prowler, both in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Jason enrolled in the Computer Science program at Union College full-time at age 16, and received his BS from the University of Pittsburgh at 19, at which time he enrolled at the Parsons School of Design as an MFA candidate.
