195: Weird Old Grandma (feat. Helen Tran)

Today we caught up with Helen Tran, a design lead at Shopify, writer, and explorer. In this episode we dig into Helen's background, finding motivation, design management, bodybuilding, being interesting, and so much more. We've also got a big announcement: we're building a new thing for you! It's called Spectrum and it's a place for the community to hang out and share what's going on in design, development, and anything else you might be interested in. We're still in beta, so expect bugs and lots of improvements over the next few weeks, but in the meantime we'd love to hang out with you and chat! Sign up at Spectrum.chat, join the Design Details frequency, and share feedback in ~hugs-n-bugs! Sponsor: Fuse - Build native apps on iOS and Android. Simpler. Faster.
