I got my @Google cup with coffee in it and my new product design book by @Its_Me_AJB
I’m excited to expand my knowledge on building products that focus on inclusion. I have my @GoogleCloudTech socks 🧦 on too this morning. Lol
If you haven’t finished your summer reading list yet, here’s a recommendation just for you! 📚Check out "Building for Everyone" by @Its_Me_AJB to explore the inclusive design process used at Google.
