Friday Five with Nicholas Jitkoff
Dropbox's VP of Design Nicholas Jitkoff shares an intriguing array of picks that delight the brain, ears, and eyes.
While it may have only been 10 years, it feels like Dropbox has been around forever, doesn’t it" Maybe it’s because the cloud sharing and storage provider has become such a part of many people’s work repertoires that you just kind of know it’s always there for you to count on without it staring you in the face. One of the people working behind the scenes to make Dropbox happen for all of us is Nicholas Jitkoff, the company’s VP of Design. Prior to joining Dropbox, Jitkoff worked at Google for 10 years, leading the Material Design team that created a cohesive design across all of Google’s array of products. Before he landed at Google, he designed and developed the Mac app Quicksilver, the utility app that lets the user open apps and folders quickly for increased productivity, all while being an active Dropbox user. There’s no doubt this creative will be the key that designs Dropbox’s future. Check out his Friday Five which shows an intriguing array of picks that delight the brain, ears, and eyes.
