Design is at the very core of Heroku, influencing every aspect of the brand and the platform. Join Vikram Rana, product marketing and developer advocacy lead at Heroku, as he chats with Heroku's head of brand design and front-end developer Charlie Gleason on his role—covering his history and background, what it's like to work at Heroku, and how he handles being a custodian for a brand he loves. From tooling, to teamwork, to the ethos of the brand itself, Charlie and Vik dig into what makes good design (and more importantly) what makes design good. They cover topics like ethics, empathy, humility, education, and bringing your authentic self to work. (Also, one correction—The Cut is based in Perth, not Melbourne. Sorry, Scott.)
