Hi Reader,

I apparently finished off 2023 creating way more articles and YouTube videos than I realized! (sorry not sorry?).This week I'm just sending a digest recap: 6 articles and 4 YouTube tutorials.

I recommend scanning the titles and diving into anything that interests you. There are some good ones in here!

I have some exciting announcements come later this month. In the meantime, I'm back in the office (officially) tomorrow I'd like to wish you all a happy new year. My word for the year is "playful". Feel free to hit the reply button with yours!
