Thrilled to share my latest design project for my dear friend @LoCoHeather. It’s now live—powered by @wpengine and a custom block theme. Still fine-tuning a few details (as one always does), but it’s out in the world. Link in reply.

Phoenix is now my home. @WordCampUS is coming next year. Serving the community is how I’ll bring these two together. When the volunteer application process opens, I’ll be submitting. 🔥.

Apparently @WordCampUS isn’t over yet. Just bumped into @andyfragen at the airport and we passed some time. Also, we really do look like twins.

WordCamp has been a blast so far, but a fine rooftop lunch with @remkusdevries and @svilenapeneva was just what I needed. #WCUS
