Hello, and welcome back to The QD Monthly, QTBIPOC Design's digital publication that aims to provide you with updates on our community along with some tools, resources, inspiration, and more to take with you wherever you are in your design journey. 😁

This month, QTBIPOC Design celebrates its one year anniversary! 🎉🥳💃 While this past year has certainly been challenging for many of us, we're so happy to have been able to dedicate space for our community to learn, grow, and celebrate together. It's been amazing to be able to connect with other QTBIPOC Designers through our various events, workshops, socials, online communities, etc., and we hope its been meaningful for you all.

We're so excited to continue to find ways to build and support this community in the coming years. We have tons of exciting opportunities and other fun stuff planned that we can't wait to share. For now, thanks for reading and take care!
