Life was rolling along–work, family, hobbies. Then, the headlines howled “PANDEMIC,” and your design team went remote, the white-collar antidote to a terrible virus working its way around the globe.
Resolute, you set out to gather remote work resources and make the most of your situation. When the news sites ran their work-from-home features, you stockpiled every available pro tip.
