Summary

A few weeks ago, Stripe launched their [new site ( https://stripe.com/ ) and reminded everyone who the 🐐 of web design is… So I asked their Head of Design, Katie Dill ( https://www.linkedin.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 ( https://newaesthetics.art/ ) Cultural Tutor YouTube video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=tWYxrowovts “Beauty is the New Business Tool” - 1927 Atlantic article ( https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1927/08/beauty-the-new-business-tool/376227/ )
