I didn’t know that Laura!  
Well, I hope we won’t embarras you 🤣!

I’m really looking forward to this one. For three years I was staying in London every other week and I loved the design and code communities and their thoughtfulness about robust scalable designs.

I hope no one will complain if I invite a couple of dear friends from that era that still live there! 🥰

Folks! Come to this Penpot After Hours! I’ll be staying in London the rest of that week so happy to attend meetups or meet some people!

I missed the last one as was attending London Web Standards on the same day, but look forward to the next one. Not started using Pen Pot yet but it’s definitely piqued my interest after some poor turns by Figma.
