Jesse: On today’s show, we are talking with Tim Allen, Global Head of Design and Research for Instacart, about the leader’s relationship to the craft of design, the balance between creative and operational leadership, and how growing up as a Black child in rural Japan has shaped his thinking about inclusion in design. Peter: Well, Tim, we’re so excited to have you with us today to talk about all kinds of things to do with design, design leadership. I think where it’ll be great to start, though, is just to get a sense of like, who you are today. What do you do? What’s your role, what are you accountable for? Set some context for us here. Tim: I mean, well, first, thanks for having me Peter, Jesse, it’s great to be here. My name’s Tim Allen. I, I lead design and research at Instacart.
