In this episode Christy and Will debrief the Kit conference and weigh the pros and cons of doing live and pre-recorded content. Then they bring on Hoyd Breton, principal product designer at Squarespace. They discuss the power of minimalism, story driven design, and the tools to support it. Hoyd shares his sources of inspiration as well as Squarespace’s most underrated feature. They also talk about working in person versus remotely and the effects on deep work and collaboration.
