Spend more time with non-designers in the business to elevate what you're doing to those that are making the decisions that'll affect what you end up building.

Took a long afternoon park walk with a coffee listening to @hursh and @joshm talk to @danshipper about the Dia pivot, origin story, and lessons from a young Zuckerberg. Back home feeling properly inspired. A highly recommended listen for your weekend

Iβm celebrating 5 years at Figma this month β. Thank you to everyone in the community for making the past few years such a blast and providing endless inspiration for files, videos, articles, and of course naming conventions.
