UX Coverage for Alexis Ginsberg from 2021-05-31 (US holiday) through 2021-06-04
Intent
This issue describes how broader group and team members are facilitating a Product Designer to take meaningful time away from work. The intent is that the designer isn't required to "catch-up" before and after taking a well-deserved vacation.
