If you’re involved in the Sass community, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of front-end architect Mina Markham. She’s definitely known in the Dallas area for her work with Girl Develop it, Black Girls Code, and other non-profit organizations, and she’s currently working on the campaign staff for presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton!

We talked about Mina’s journey as a designer, her love for giving back to the community, why she loves Sass, and the people that motivate and inspire her. Mina is a true testament to the power of hard work, and I’m really glad to have the chance to share her story. Enjoy!

Marco Rogers is the engineering manager at Clover Health, a unique health insurance plan focused on driving down costs and producing improved health outcomes. Marco also writes small novels on Twitter (his words, not mine!) on everything from the current state of the tech industry to issues dealing with inequality and social justice. That’s quite an intersection!

We talked about the work he’s doing at Clover Health, touched on the always hot topic of diversity in the tech industry, and learned how he’s changed in the past year as an engineer and as a manager. I’m really grateful for the opportunity to speak with Marco, and you can tell that he takes an immense amount of pride not just in his work, but in ensuring that his work affects change. Dive in and enjoy the interview!

You may have heard of Diógenes Brito from his blog post “Just A Brown Hand”. In it, he talks about his process behind a simple design change that has now made ripples throughout the tech community. Small changes definitely can have big consequences!

In our conversation, we talked about confusing job titles in the tech industry, his philosophy as a designer, who he admires, and his current obsessions. Diógenes is definitely someone who thinks deeply about design and its impact (even in the smallest ways). It’s a really fun and informative interview, so I hope you learn a lot from it!
