We had a bit of a mix up with the time due to timezones and DST but were able to share two designs: @shaunandrews shared Pattern Directory design progress and @critterverse shared reusable blocks. @estelaris shared ways designers can be more involved.
@critterverse shared her ongoing work with Reusable blocks. To continue the discussion, check out the issue on Github: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/30357
Being more active
@estelaris started the discussion on how designers be more active. A few take-aways:

Consider posting work to the Make Design blog, as @shaunandrews recently did with Patterns.
