Book-Friend, he/him
I liked Mearls design work, and I am glad that he is still employed, but it is good that he is not in the spotlight anymore given his irresponsible and unprofessional use of public facing media.I'll add that contributors to books on 5E openly do not believe he is involved on the TTRPG print side anymore.
I've noticed that since Winninger took over, they are no longer relying on the designers doing double duty on marketing work: Perkins and Crawford aren't doing tons of video appearances.
