#165 - The creative process in a remote & async environment: Deep work, Loom, pair design, & presentations | Ben Grynol & Alan McLean
About this episode
How does the creative process happen in a remote-first and async work environment? Design and creativity move from in-person, collaborative whiteboards and sticky notes to the use of Loom and other documentation tools in an asynchronous environment. Look for multiple new shows per week on A Whole New Level, where we have in-depth conversations about metabolic health and how the Levels startup team builds a wellness movement from the ground up in the health and wellness tech industry.
