Dan Kenger Shares How Hims & Hers is Humanizing Healthcare Design

Wednesday, December 4, 2024 • Duration 48:04

The world of healthcare design was stuck in a time warp - stock photos, clinical messaging, and designs that spoke more to insurance companies than humans. That started changing when Dan Kenger saw an opportunity to bring consumer-first design to an industry that had forgotten about the consumer. During his Gin Lane days, Dan's content-first approach and selective client philosophy helped create the modern D2C playbook through work with brands like Harry's and Sweetgreen. He'd actually helped create Hims' original brand identity back in 2017, so when he joined as Chief Design Officer in 2020, he was building on a foundation he'd already laid. Whether you're a designer, brand builder, or just curious about how thoughtful design can transform entire industries, this episode is packed with powerful insights.
