Below you can hear the latest Technical.ly podcast, on design culture. Designers are becoming more and more important across Brooklyn, Baltimore and Philadelphia, so our lead reporters in those three cities and Technical.ly’s editor discuss what we are seeing.

We discuss some current trends we’re seeing in our markets in design, how design can follow function but shouldn’t replace it and startups that are doubling down on design as a way to differentiate themselves from other companies in their space.
Some Brooklyn highlights from the conversation:
- Good Eggs skips the app and goes straight to a responsive site on the web.
- The line between designer and developer appears to be getting blurry as Huge advances its design by prototyping process.
- Companies like Roadify and Chatwala that are using design to stand out in crowded spaces.
- Trends from our sister markets, Baltimore and Philadelphia. Such as, how designers at Monetate see themselves and the trends one creative agency, Post Typography, sees as important right now.
