mina-markham-300

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!

It’s a really great interview with someone who is a real game-changer in this industry. Enjoy!
