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.
