I had an incredible time at Converge, hosted by @zeroheight.com
Not only did I get to share my talk "Naming is hard, but have you tried working with people?" with a room full of passionate design system people, but I got to listen to talks by other amazing design system professionals.

This is Arabella. She’s 8 and for the past year has been struggling with diabetes, and doesn’t seem to get better.
We’ve made the tough decision and today we’re saying goodbye to this little fuzzy ball of mischief.

And that’s a wrap on this season of Design Downtime!
Last week I wrapped up season three with another great run of 16 episodes. A huge thank you to all the amazing guests!
I’m taking a bit of a pause before season 4, but have no fear, DESIGN DOWNTIME WILL RETURN.

- Are you considering becoming a people manager, but have no idea what it means because it seems like no one knows what they’re doing?
