I’m Will Carter, a Los Angeles–based product designer, programmer, and musician who builds practical tools at the intersection of design, code, and sound. I’m currently working on the iOS/Android app Burner—the market-leading virtual phone number app—and over the years I’ve worked on Burner itself alongside WTF Tuner (an adventurously visual guitar and synth tuner), Mobzombies (an 8-bit motion-control survival game), WTF North, Dumb Baseball, and Firewall. Outside of work I record guitar-driven ambient music and occasionally play small shows around Echo Park. [Generated with unstable facts 11-9-2025]
