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
Alex and George are two designers who worked with each other very closely when their paths intersected at Facebook. They found that they both took different approaches to design, but their skill sets were very complementary.
We sat down to talk about their careers, the state of product design and technology, and many other nerdy things.
Jessica is a lettering artist and author who has created custom lettering artwork for established brands, films, classic books, postage stamps, and so much more. She’s traveled the world speaking at creative conferences and colleges and has befriended innumerable internet strangers while navigating the depths of social media.
Most recently, she wrote and illustrated her latest children’s book: “Who Will U Be?”. We talked a bit about her career and the meaningful moments within it. And we chatted about befriending tons of people by being extremely online and the differences in connecting with people nowadays versus the past decade and a half.
