Katie Dill - The new era of design at Stripe

A few weeks ago, Stripe launched their new site com) and reminded everyone who the 🐐 of web design is… So I asked their Head of Design, Katie Dill com/in/katie-dill-79168b3), to walk us through some of the tiny design decisions that make it so special. But we also did a deep dive into how the *practice* of design is evolving at Stripe and everything they’re doing to push past the status quo. Some highlights: - How the “call for a new aesthetic” is influencing design culture at Stripe - How their internal tool Protodash is changing the way designers prototype - The most important signals that Katie looks for when hiring designers - What the concentration of craft looks like in an AI era - + a *lot* more Call for a new aesthetic - Patrick Collison and Tyler Cowen’s grant program
