- Unfortunately, I was also impacted by Shopify’s layoffs. Truth is, I am and will be fine. Shopify’s severance package is very generous. If you’re hiring, keep an eye out for my talented colleagues! I’ll take the summer off and then decide what’s next in fall. ✌️

- Wrapping up an unforgettable wedding week in a little Italian castle with our closest friends and family.
- Title: "How to do X" <h2> "Why is X important?" <h2> "What is X?" <h2> "The history of X" ... One sentence about "how to do X" at the end. 😡
- Replying to @Kevin_IndigI'm beyond excited to announce that I'm joining @Shopify as Director of SEO! Working with @luclevesque , @morganb , @tobi , @harleyf , and many other super talents is an opportunity I couldn't pass. The difference Shopify can make in the world is profound.
- When you have to cut ad spend, years of building SEO out pay off.
