David Rowell is the founder of CartPause and a Principal Product Designer with over 16 years of experience building digital products at Amazon, Microsoft, and Nokia.
After years of designing products that made buying effortless, David found himself drowning in packages he barely remembered ordering. He started a personal 72-hour rule before every non-essential purchase, saved thousands of dollars, and built CartPause to put that same pause into the share button of every shopping app. He writes about impulse buying, the psychology behind it, and the tools that help people spend with intention.
