talk about creating a new asset using the design system established by previous designer
screen shot showing desktop and mobile design you made based on the live (backfilling the design catalog) in figma so that they have a record of as-is state in order to enable future iterations.
blah blah blah about responsiveness and identifying desired behavior for best experience.

We stopped at the spreadsheet on row 11 because we went on a tangent about where/how css files should be.

@anonymousanemone please finish updating your linkedin profile and let us know when you are done;

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

@anonymousanemone I recommend the following additional steps

• Go into the Hack for LA team roster and connect with each person who did a pr review or issue completed for you
• Once they have accepted your linkedin request, go to their profile and endorse them for the skills that your issue required. So if your issue was a Figma issue, then endorse them for that, etc.
• Then wait a few days, and write to them asking them if they would consider endorsing you for that skill and reminding them of the pr or issue (including putting a link to the item).

Note: you only NEED one endorsement per skill to make it show up when recruiters are searching for you. But you do need at least one.
