Dan Cederholm
10/26/23 • 43 min
Elliot sits down with Dan Cederholm, who many will know for his pioneering web design work, his multiple books, and as the co-founder of Dribbble. These days, Dan’s studio Simplebits is a type foundry, so Elliot and Dan talk learning new skills, career reinvention, the woes of social media, and moving from digital to analogue and back again — all with a healthy (or is that unhealthy?) dose of reminiscing about the good ol’ days of the web.
