Hustle: Good Managers Garden (Juliana Vislova, Mercury)

"I want to work at a place where I'm 5 minutes away from my co-workers. Even if I work remotely, I want to know that they go to the same coffee shop as I do. I want that sense of connection."

Hustle: 'Where Do You See Yourself in 5 Years?' Perspectives from SXSW 2022

"As a design manager, I look for messy areas that allow for a lot of ripe opportunities for me to experiment and change things. A company with a good mess means that the landscape is there for people to try things and change bits."

Hustle: The Different Flavors of Design Management (Brian Peterson, Affirm)

"If you're looking for inspiration to solve a problem, don't just look at the competitors and other people solving the problem—go look at the people having the problem.
