Kind of stormy this afternoon. A Black Manhattan felt appropriate. Enjoying this as the thundering clouds roll over.
Cheers, friends. Good Friday. 🍸

I discovered the ice cream machine is also proficient at making frozen sangria. It’s going to be a frozen cocktail summer.
Cheers, friends! Happy Friday!

Canvas, our design system, turned eight years old today, so we threw a little party for it. I’ve been working on this system for over five years now, and in a lot of ways it feels like we’ve grown up together.
Cheers Canvas. I’ve learned a lot from you. 🥂🍾

This lil guy accidentally hopped into our window well and got stuck. It was jumping up while I was on a call. I eventually convinced it to scurry into a dough tub and set him free. 😍
