hey apw,
With the holidays bearing down upon us, everyone at APW is in head-down-get-shit-done mode. We’ve got some killer content coming up for you for the holidays, and personally, I’m already pretty excited for the New Year too. But before I get too far ahead of myself and spoil all the surprises, happy Friday! We’ve got a great link roundup, and I think there’s a glass of wine calling my name. Better go check on that.
Cheers,
Lucy
