On sale right now! Good Job: Designing Interviews and Interviewing in Design. It's a two-sided book: read it one way as an interviewer, the other way as a candidate. It's a well-balanced, insightful, way of dealing with hiring and getting hired. bookshop.org/p/books/good...

I helped mobilize a group of neighbors to provide direct aid to nearly 50 families who are in hiding from ICE. These folks deserve fresh, familiar foods. So we're purchasing groceries direct from neighborhood Latino markets whenever we can. Venmo @kristina-halvorson to help, and please repost.

thanks to the 91 new people who have signed up to the mailing list this week. There's an automation error so you won't get an email until I sort that... and I've had surgery on my hand so am currently 1-handed and slow at everything! I'll get the email sorted before the next talk in July. Milly

Thanks to Liberty Howard for her brilliant talk this week 'Content design: what they don't tell you in the books' www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiVT...

Content design: what they don't tell you in the books
A lot of content designers come into the industry understanding the principles of good content design, and with a lot of valuable transferable skills we've picked up along the way. But it becomes obvious quite quickly that content design in theory is very different to content design in practice. Liberty Howard will be talking about what content design has really been like in her time across the charity, private and public sectors, her experiences of navigating that gap between my expectations and the reality, how she became a more pragmatic content designer, and how she's guiding her team at TPXimpact to do the same. ======== Content Folks is a friendly space to meet and learn from other content-focussed people.
