https://youtu.be/bquVF5Cibaw?si=fU2FBf5Rf2UxbDra I'm late in posting this because boy oh boy, there's been a lot going on. But Episode 2 of our show Open Up is out! Geoff and I tackled some great questions and covered a lot of ground in this episode, including:

• What should designers & developers focus on?
• Will AI take our jobs?
• Focusing on fundamentals
• Embodying principles in both work and life
• Navigating an imperfect world
• Taking jobs that don't align with your values
• Reflections on how collaboration has changed over time
• Enduring friendships with old collaborators!

Great conversation! Join us for the next episode on June 11th, and if you'd like us to weigh in on your situation, feel free to write to us right here!
