Loving this interview with @lil_dill & @aaron_epstein. Can't stop nodding along. @watsi has always invested in our design: Builds trust🤝 Brings joy💛 Finds efficiencies🙌
I get to wear many hats, but cultivating good design is surprisingly one of my favorite parts of the day.
Stripe, Airbnb, and Lyft are a few of the most successful companies of the past decade. And they all have at least two things in common: great design and Katie Dill (@lil_dill).
Katie was Head of Experience Design at Airbnb, led the design team at Lyft, and is now Head of Design at Stripe.
For Design Review, YC's @aaron_epstein spoke with Katie about her design philosophy and the importance of instilling a culture of design in your startup from day one.

👋 from our small and mighty #TeamWatsi!
For a fully remote and global team, these rare moments of coming together IRL are an inspiration.
Whether you've been with us since Day One or this is day one, a huge thanks to everyone who makes our mission and progress possible.
So much to process and share from #Davos, but feeling extra grateful for lunch with one-of-a-kind @agnesbinagwaho as we launched the @wef + @McKinsey landmark report on the women's health gap. We are standing on her shoulders as we build a healthier world for all.
@watsi
What a week bringing people-powered philanthropy to #Davos2024
Alongside global leaders, CEOs, humanitarians - grateful to bring our @watsi community's voice to the table as we build a future that truly works for ALL.
Hope everyone was able to do a little extra good today. ✨️ Still a few hours left to help on @watsi for #GivingTuesday
Our #GivingTuesday 2xMATCH is now live. Here is a glimpse of your impact on watsi.org ⤵ Your donation would be a gift that really does last a lifetime. 💙
This song has been on repeat for me this year. Love seeing the early clip of Maggie and Pharrell.
A reminder that we're all cheering each other on in this journey.
This is one of the best videos to ever exist for entrepreneurs, creators... I think about it often.
In 2016, Pharrell Williams visited a NYU music production class to critique student songs.
At the beginning you could see student "Maggie Rogers" drenched with the absolute terror of sharing this with him.
Pharrell is there just trying to keep his excitement in.
The guy couldn’t wait to tell her this song is the bee’s knees.
After he listened to a song called “Alaska”, he explained why “I have zero, zero, zero notes for that:”
24 hours later, someone posted the clip to Reddit.
It blew up and the rest is history. Grammy nominated, millions of followers etc.
And Maggie responded to the Reddit thread (i'll share screenshot in the next tweet).
This story I find so cool because it inspires other artists to share what they got.
We all can all connect with the fear of showing our work. It ain't easy.
And to have a unique POV like Maggie. Easy to copy, harder to have something unique.
I’ve got a bunch of designs, creations that have never seen the light of day.
This video inspires me to publish more.
My point of sharing this video:
Publish your art anonymously.
Or publish your art proudly as yourself. Bonus points if it's one of a kind work.
But publish your darn art.
This is your new week's energy.
This is your 2024 energy.
Go get 'em.

"You who sees one small need: don't hesitate to do any amount of minuscule good in this world." -@jessjanz
I'll take any amount of good we can all muster at the moment.
On a hilly, sweaty bike ride his morming and honestly the seeds of our best thoughts, ideas, and dreams come into focus when we give ourselves a little space, movement, and fresh air.

94% of birth defects arise in LMICs. To support these often-neglected populations, many from impoverished backgrounds, we urgently need to bolster surgical systems and primary healthcare under #UHC. Without intervention, healthcare expenses risk deepening their poverty. 🌍 #PHC
