Note sull'episodio

Welcome back to the Technical Difficulties rerelease season, where we highlight some of our favorite episodes from previous seasons.

Join Nicole Kahn, VP of Design at Carta, as she reflects on discovering design research, the secret to telling sticky stories, and transitioning into tech. She has led design at companies like IDEO and WeWork, and is now building out what good design looks like at Carta. Nicole coined the "Bar Test" for storytelling, and is dedicated to unlocking the creative potential in all. Tune in to hear Nicole's perspective on:

  • Transitioning from chemical engineering to design research to tech, and the realities of grad school
  • Learnings from WeWork: hypergrowth and authentic leadership
  • UX debt
  • The "lone designer type"
  • The "Bar Test" for better stories
  • Realizing your expertise as a designer
