Katie Dill, Head of Design at Stripe, and Randy Hunt, Head of Design at Notion, sit down to swap stories in the first episode of The General Podcast. This is a conversation between two of the most thoughtful design leaders in tech, covering everything from building taste into products to maintaining creative conviction inside fast-scaling orgs. They discuss how to protect what makes design great, what designers uniquely bring to the table in the age of AI, and why sometimes you just have to pick mint chip and go.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
- Why beautiful, well-crafted products matter - especially in the age of AI
- The case for “fewer memos, more demos” and how Stripe operationalizes quality
- How Notion fosters taste through founder collaboration and radical transparency
- A dead-simple metaphor for decision-making: picking one flavor of ice cream
- The enduring value of the auteur in design and how to scale conviction
- Why prototyping trumps PowerPoints
- How both teams use design rituals to stay connected
