just a little fyi, if you might be hiring for a research guided, human centered design leader, I'm just sitting right here, waiting for some product org to have a vision beyond the current AI hype cycle. We can design a better way of working and delivering a quality, user-centered product.

Reminder that if you think Pike Place Market should remain (mostly) car free, you should fill out this SDOT survey by June 30th. Residents and visitors both encouraged to respond.
