Hello Designer

If you signed up 5 months ago for our monthly newsletters — welcome! We took [what was originally supposed to be] a short break from the newsletter as we adjusted to the pandemic lifestyle. 2 weeks turned into 26 weeks real quick.

If this is your first time getting our newsletter, and you want to see past issues, check out our archive page! 

Finally, we are looking for a senior designer and an associate designer to work with our team based in Los Angeles. As we are all remote now — we're more than open to remote candidates, we only ask that you be within a 2 hour time difference as we are still mastering asynchronous communication.

P.S. If you got subscribed by accident, or are no longer interested, please do unsubscribe, we don't want to be a nuisance. 🙂
