Netflix's Steve Johnson and Rochelle King: Making great stories accessible

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re anything like us, you’ve been watching more than your fair share of Netflix this past year. And with such great original content, from</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Queen’s Gambit</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to more obscure shows like</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Midnight Diner,</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">we were curious what it takes from a product design perspective to create and deliver these shows to a massive audience, in a way that’s accessible not only to audiences here in the US, but all around the world.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So we sat down to chat with Steve Johnson, Vice President of Design, and Rochelle King, Vice President of Creative Production at Netflix, to talk about how they approach inclusive design for a global audience, how they use a</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">data-informed</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">rather than</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">data-driven</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">product strategy, and why looking for passion rather than for credentials might be the key to your next great hire.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is the last episode of Season Five of the Design Better Podcast. But don’t worry, Season Six is just around the corner, where we’ll be sharing interviews with guests like bestselling author Dan Pink, who will teach us how to use persuasion to be better at our jobs, and Professor Sara Seager, an astrophysicist and planetary scientist whose research on exoplanets can shed light on how we can be better collaborators here on Earth.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also, in-between seasons we’re going to do a bonus Q&A show, where you’ll have a chance to record your questions about design, creativity, leadership, or any of the topics we cover here on the show and we’ll do our best to answer them.
