2023 Shipped! 🚀

What. A. Year.

2023 saw us come back with a bang at WordCamps, hosting events, and doing incredible work with world-leading brands. But sadly, we also had to say goodbye to some amazing folks way back in January.

Professionally and personally, it’s been a year of dramatic highs and tough lows. Human Made and the WordPress space more widely are in such an exciting place at the moment and we’re coming into 2024 with a palpable sense of momentum and excitement for what’s ahead.

Wishing you and yours a fantastic end to the year!
