197: Chillaphobia (feat. Rachel Been)

Today we caught up with Rachel Been, a creative director at Google working on the Material Design team. In this episode we dig deep into building design systems, creative and art direction, international empathy, machine learning in design, 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.
