Episode 9 with Everett Katigbak!
We talk about his path from East LA to the Bay Area, traffic on the 405, generalist vs. specialist, early days of designing Facebook's brand, environment and culture.
About
I am a digital product builder who likes to create things by mashing together design, engineering, and business strategy.
Currently, I am a designer and leader at Brex. I have a podcast where I talk with people about the stories behind the things they designed and built. Some days, I work on my photo-sharing side project Shoebox.
Features
Everett is a multi-talented creative who is currently on the publishing team at Stripe as the executive producer of films and brand content for Stripe Press and Works in Progress.
We talked about his path from East LA to the Bay Area and spoke about some of our shared formative experiences from reflections on our time at Facebook in the early 2010s. We dug into his perspectives as a generalist vs. being a specialist, and what the next creative challenges are that he wants to take on.
