👋 Hello, internet. Send me all of your mission-driven product designers to our Pittsburgh, NYC, Seattle, or Berlin offices, please. Together, let's build the best education in the world and make it universally available. linkedin.com/posts/duolingo…

Today, we are thrilled to welcome @gunneranimation to the Duolingo family! We've worked closely with this group of talented and creative artists for the past couple of years, and I am beyond excited to call them my colleagues now. gunner.work/wtf

Today is a big day for @duolingo—we goin’ public, y’all!!! Within a week, I’ve had my first child and my first IPO… what a wild year 2021 has been! So proud of @LuisvonAhn, @severinhacker, the Design team, and company for all the hard work over the years. $DUOL #duolipo

Language belongs to everyone. Now Duolingo does, too. 💚 Our mission is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available. Today's #DUOLIPO with @Nasdaq means we can bring education to more people than ever before. $DUOL

@motherfuton @brad @keeg My brain also does this with Absolution (Muse) and 2advanced, the hottest thing on the internet in 2004. @ericjordan @shanemielke @Moore

Listening to X&Y and I’m immediately taken back to The Big Noob. It was the hottest thing on the internet when that album dropped. Weird how the brain works. /cc @brad @simmy @keeg

@motherfuton @brad @keeg I will try to fix you.

@tatsvc Proud of you, Tats! What an amazing goal to hit.

I guess I just ran a half marathon without training—2020 is in fact full of surprises. And with that I also hit my goal of running 1000km in 2020! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏆🏅

@helena @CaseyNewton On my birthday, no less. How bittersweet!

Write the words that will help shape the future of education. Bonus: you get to work with Mary, queen of the word nerds.

@ericsnowden Spoiler: It’s not.

Beginning to wonder if the ability to see updates from people I knew in high school but didn't care enough to actually keep in touch with is worth the shredding of our democracy...

@fanelli Don’t miss this, @garrettmurray.

@fanelli I thought your cold, dead soul would reject it outright. So glad to be wrong.

@jw OH. EM. GEEE.

Honestly been staring at this for 30 minutes and don’t exactly know what to say. Except it’s real. And I’m v excited. Let’s gooooo! 🥽

@garrettmurray @jasonsudeikis My thoughts exactly. I almost didn’t watch because the trailer looked so cheeseball, but fortunately @malthe convinced me to give it a try...

@pishdeluxe It’s okay. We all knew you were just being stubborn.

@fanelli Nope, still wear my Liverpool FC hat proudly.

@fanelli Brooklyn Nine-Nine is my personal fav.

@fanelli 🖐

Let's talk. Not the apply-for-a-job type? DM me. Especially if you're a design manager, product designer, systems designer, producer, character animator, motion designer, illustrator, or brand designer...I'd be very interested in chatting.

We are hiring for several @Duolingo Design roles! Help us design the most downloaded education app in the world as we try to make education freely available to everyone. → Product Designers → Design Managers → many more... duolingo.com/careers
