Episode 219: Jon Bell

Jon Bell is a product design manager at MailChimp in Atlanta, GA.

We’re ending out MailChimp Month on Revision Path with a conversation with Jon Bell. Jon has worn many hats in his career — design leader, product leader, entrepreneur — and now he beings his experience to MailChimp as their newest design manager.

Jon and I talked about his philosophy to design, as well as his vision for what he wants to accomplish in his new position. We also talked about how his background in politics helps his current work, the importance of mentors, and what the best things are that he owes his parents. I’m excited to see what Jon will help bring to MailChimp!

Thank you MailChimp for being a sponsor and for allowing me to interview these great designers and developers!

Episode 140: Harrison Wheeler

This week, we're talking to Harrison Wheeler, design manager at Base.

“Regardless of your dreams, don’t let anyone stop you.” When Harrison Wheeler, told me this before our interview, I knew that we were going to have a good conversation on our hands. Harrison is the design manager at Base, a customer relationship management tool used by entrepreneurs to help track clients and set up a sales process so your business runs more efficiently.

We started off by going through a typical day for Harrison, and he shared what he thinks makes someone a good design manager. From there, he talked about how he first got involved in design, his entrepreneurial days at the University of Iowa, and we talked a bit about diversity in design as it relates to hiring. (And he is hiring!) Harrison really had a lot of great information to share, and I think anyone interested in more about product design or design management should definitely give this episode a listen. Thanks to Ron Bronson for the introduction!
