For all the communities we work in and support, the past year was physically and emotionally challenging. We feel fortunate that 2021 was overall good to Harmonic. We expanded our community of designers and clients, brought service design education to new organizations and classrooms, and still had time for some shenanigans with our pets.
Throughout, we did our best to take care of one another and those around us as people. Most of our work was done virtually, but when the team could safely meet in person we made the most of it (and maybe got some tacos).
