Hello there -

We know there are still six days of August left and the autumnal equinox doesn't happen till nearly a month from now, but... doesn't it feel like Fall!? It kinda feels like Fall! 

Whether you're ready for leaf-peeping season, apple picking, and PSLs or hanging on to the last days of summer, please feel free to reply to this email and let us know where you stand on the season. 

Now, let's get into the good stuff - because there's a lot of it this month! 

The latest 🚨

NLX's New Figma Plugin for Voice Compass

We at NLX know that a good brand goes a long way - your brand is representative of the trust, loyalty, and satisfaction your customers have come to know and love you for! When engaging with your customers, you want it to look, sound, and feel like your brand. Simply put - the vibe needs to be right! 

This month, NLX launched a new Figma plugin where nontechnical and technical users can easily set up the audial elements of their Voice Compass Journey using a design tool they already know and love.

One of the best parts about this plugin is that it was built and launched by our amazing team of summer interns over the course of their 10-week summer program! Though they're now heading off to their next adventures, we're grateful to them for all their hard work, and they've left us with some parting thoughts in a Thoughts by Andrei blog post below.
