Thanks for downloading the speaker notes. I’ve been a big fan of using SVGs the last couple years and hopefully you can tell that it’s something I like talking about! If you ever have a pesky question, feel free to send me a message. The best way to get my attention is probably on Twitter but you can use my email as well.
