“We don’t want to let the quality bar slip just because we’re shipping more and faster. It just became a question of designing a system to enable that at this newer scale.” Excited to share our latest case study with the Stripe design team! They gave us a behind-the-scenes look at tools they’ve built across product, brand, and content that allow them to do Stripe-level work at an incredible velocity. AI also clearly lets more people there participate in shipping great product, lets designers go way broader in their explorations, and even lets designers/engineers do work that simply wasn’t possible before AI (wait 'till you see how their brand team uses AI) Thanks Katie Dill and team for showing us what embracing AI effectively can look like! 0:00 – How AI is changing design at Stripe 1:48 – Using ProtoDash for high-fidelity prototyping 4:52 – Maintaining Stripe’s voice at scale with Dante 8:03 – Designing Stripe Press book covers 9:45 – Why now is a creative renaissance

He started as a medical scribe at a hospital center outside of DC before switching careers and moving to New York City to work with some of the largest global brands, and most recently building the design function at Thrive Capital from the ground up. His design philosophy blends scientific rigor with creative intuition. In his mind, the best design feels effortless, but you should sweat every detail to get there. Frank is an incredible designer and an even better person. We discuss his life story, the mechanics of great design, how to name a company, his work at Thrive and much more. Hope you enjoy!
