When I first started working from home my set up was just my laptop and a TV tray. Now I have a full home office and I have to tell you the glow up has made all the difference.

Oooh. I'm curious to hear about what's in the new office set up. Glad your setup was able to have a glow up and it seems like it's actually been helping out

A big one for me is my standing desk and my earbuds. I use Bose QuietComforts and they’re a game changer for blocking out distractions and staying focused.

Standing desk is such a good at home investment. I need to do some rearranging to fit one but would love to have one myself

My walking pad for sure

Im working at a big multi-product company and we're having 5 dedicated product teams, however, teams are working in silos. Each team's has its own process, design system, technology etc. We identified that most of the teams use and need components that were already conceptualised, designed and developed, for our other products, and we are starting to create a global set of components, a global design system that we will use on all our products.
