Joined by Special Guest: Tessa Episode Summary Tessa is UI developer, teacher, and community organizer. Her passion is finding more ways to build reusable components. She talks about the component work she’s been doing, specifically experimenting with building a reusable component library that’s documented and building reusable components into existing apps.

In addition to component libraries, Tessa loves teaching. She delves into her history with teaching and some of her methods.
