Plug Talk Vol 1.

welcome

to the first edition of Plug Talk, a compilation of articles, products, and content curated by your girl. I am always posting about what I'm currently into, ideas I'm examining, and what I'm learning more about and I thought it might be best to include all in one place. The topics will range but I love diving deeper into urban design, art, suitability, and how to work more efficiently so you can expect a mix of this.

These bi-weekly emails will always be packed with bite-sized information and straight to the point, perfect for our short attention spans. I hope these resources can provide some valuable information for you.

If you got this email and you're wondering what it is and how you got it, you probably have gone to one of my past events. No hard feelings if this isn't what you're looking for, you can unsubscribe from this list.
