Happy to report that the Susan Kare interview did not disappoint.

So great to find out she loves the arcade game Joust which was the first arcade/video game I played as a youngster 😍

We’ll compare notes on my time at Facebook with his time at Google, Quora, and now Perplexity. Our conversation kicks off a series of firesides with design leaders at the frontier of AI.

The fireside chat will be held SPC at 10:30 Wednesday and is open to SPC members and founders. DM for access.

Henry’s perspective is relevant to:

- founders who want to build great design teams and culture

- designers who want to create new companies from the ground up

- technologists who want to better understand how design meets AI in practice at a formidable startup

This Wednesday I’m moderating an in-depth conversation with @henryy.bsky.social about being the founding designer of Perplexity—from pre-PMF through running a killer team of industry-leading creatives.
