A note:

This was originally a Patreon-exclusive audio recording for patrons. While we’re no longer on Patreon, we are now on Substack (hello!), and we’re bringing back all exclusive content for paid subscribers.

So you might hear some mentions of Patreon but just switch that out with “Subscribe on Substack!” and you’ll get the idea.

Interviewed in 2020

Welcome to a west & ease subscriber exclusive. west & ease is a collection of stories, sounds, knowledge, visuals, and "creative" work. Specifically, you're listening to an exclusive clip from a recent Conversation with Kevin Twohy. You can find our original conversation here.

Meet Kevin Twohy, an independent product designer helping early-stage startups go from zero to one. He shares with us how he got started in his career, how he's steered himself into the creative, independent world, and gives us insight on how to approach it ourselves.

For this exclusive, we'll hear directly from Kevin about a recent project he did with Hellosaurus. Hellosaurus is a new interactive video platform for kids to watch and play along with their favorite shows, truly reimagining screen time for a touch screen generation. Kevin shares with us how the idea came to fruition and walks us through the process from start to launch.

For friends who have yet to get a paid subscription, you’ll get full audio access, an audio transcript, and some awesome links Kevin shared during the Conversation.
