NOTE: I’ve been writing this post in my head for few weeks now and promised myself not to get all tacky and emotional but it won’t be easy.
Today is my last day at Poke. It’s a weird, exciting and genuinely sad day for me. Everything you ever heard about Poke - the people, the work, the beauty, the beast, the fun, the madness, is probably true (perhaps even an understatement). In the past two years going to work never felt like going to work - it was just going to this place where a bunch of freakishly talented, genuinely lovely people come together to do some cool stuff together.
It’s been two and a bit amazing years for me (again, understatement). And now it’s time to move on. A very exciting opportunity presented itself and so from Monday I will reappear in HyperHappen. I will soon post about my new role and what I’m hoping to achieve but in the meantime, goodbye Poke, I heart you all more than words can say.
There’s no place like Poke.

Shame I’m not in town (still in the Americas!) to have a big drink of goodbye with you and all the pokers.
You’ll be missed. Hope you’ll have a great time in your new job. Looking forward to catch up sometime soon!
