Writing of the week

This is the last issue in which I'm going to talk about Design Thinking, so I've made a compilation of all the posts from these last months, in total 15 of them! Thank you very much for reading it <3

Lately I'm a bit lost on my skills, so I'm planning (thought, doesn't mean I'll do it hahaha) to make a skills matrix to focus on my weaknesses, so while I digress a bit on the topic, I think I'll share it in the newsletter.

This doesn't stop me from continuing to work on the free course <3.

Thanks for everything, really.
