Even though we only lost an hour, I feel like I lost the whole day. I seem to be getting nothing done and it’s already almost 5pm.

International Women's Day - a reminder that we make up over slightly half of all UX designers, yet leadership roles are still predominantly male, women make less money & are often left out of the histories.
Help me change that & support the Women of IXD project to expand the website to develop a resource to learn about the amazing contributions of women in UX. I'm raising money to hire a developer to build out the redesign.
