Integrating Sustainability in Product Design π₯
Dear Reader,
This week's meetup talk was a wake-up call for me.
Everything about designing digital products generates waste, but this reality is hidden from us.
Catalina Mueller pulled back the curtain on digital waste in her talk.
It's a practical guide to understanding and shaping how your organization views sustainability.

BONUS: Catalina shared some amazing sustainability resources in a spreadsheet for her talk. Get it here and give her some love on social media if you use it!

A Workshop Agenda No One Wants By Hannah Baker Dear Reader, Last week, I posted a fake workshop agenda on LinkedIn. The kind weβve all been in that drains your will to collaborate. I shared it as a joke. It reached 100,000+ people β’ 800+ likes β’ 100+ comments β’ 20+ reposts But the comments werenβt just laughs. They wereβ¦grief.
