The first leg of our 2024 Eurotrip kicked off with a whirlwind layover in New York City. With just 10 hours to spare, we packed in iconic eats, meaningful moments at the 9/11 Memorial, and a few must-see sights—including that famous cookie. A quick taste of the city before jetting off to London, but just enough to feel the buzz of NYC under our feet.

Spent a few days in the Bay for Figma’s Config, but the real highlight was catching up with fellow Hawai‘i-raised designers now doing big things on the mainland. Nothing beats sharing laughs, stories, and drinks with people who just get where you’re from. Chee-Hoo!
