Greg Storey, Jina Anne, Jonathan Snook - The Season 2 Finale & Holiday Special

Welcome to the Season 2 Finale and special holiday edition of
Design Driven. Recording this show was a lot of fun, and you’ll
hear why as you get into it.


This episode is great not just because it was recorded in person,
but because of who the guests are and the special chemisty we all
share.


It was recorded at a villa in the North Georgia mountains during
Web Whisky Weekend. A getaway for people who love the web. This
kind of conversation was happening the entire weekend, so we
decided to capture some of it for you. If you like what you hear,
you should consider joining us at the next event.

My guests, Jonathan Snook, Jina Anne, and Greg Storey all have
been designing things for the web, and leading the community
towards better design for nearly two decades.


Jonathan Snook is well known for his work with CSS. He’s written
several books, spoken at literally hundreds of conferences, and
helped thousands and thousands of people through his blog posts
and generous contributions to many projects. He’s worked at
Yahoo, Shopify, Xero, and done private consulting for a lot of
other companies you’ve heard of. And being from Canada he’s one
of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.


Jina Anne has been a prolific designer, blogger, and community
leader for well over 15 years. She led the Sass project, runs a
Design Systems conference called Clarity, and manages the Design
System community on Slack. She’s worked at Apple, Salesforce,
Github, Amazon, and several other leading tech companies. She’s a
world traveller, whisky aficionado, and lover of sushi and
robots.


Greg Storey created Airbag Industries, one of the very first
websites I ever saw and thought, “wow, websites don’t have to
look like crap”. He created a style that you just didn’t see back
then, which inspired a lot of people to make their websites look
great, too. If that isn’t enough, his writing has always been
insightful, entertaining, and a bit provocative in the best
possible way. He’s run small agencies like Airbag and Happy Cog,
and worked for giants like IBM and USAA. He has a keen
understanding of the business side of design, is always generous
with his knowledge, and makes one of the best manhattans you’ll
ever taste.
