Australia is home to some of the world’s leading scientists. We make breakthroughs and discoveries that are the envy of the world.

We just need to get better at celebrating them, and backing those innovations all the way. [1/4]

@bigjsl Having a diverse hiring panel is very effective. Seeing how they react to different people has stopped me hiring terrible people before.

Congrats to the Figma team on their $20B acquisition.

Humbled and blessed to be a small part of their success by logging into Figma twice in the last 3 years and making suggestions that our design team ignored.

It’s been quite a ride.
