Ethan shares how rural roots and accessibility shaped his design ethos, and how responsive thinking became a flexible approach rather than a fixed set of rules. They revisit landmark moments like the Boston Globe redesign, dig into craft and semantics, and explore Ethan’s latest work on labor in tech from <em>You Deserve a Tech Union</em>, define the value of their work, and build safer, more sustainable networks. Along the way, Ethan talks creativity rituals, unlearning perfection, and the power of community.</p>
