How design practice is changing at Stripe

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
