Wow October already. The Digital course with Anicca is going well, so much I didn't realise I already new, and some of it slightly over my head. It's strange how we doubt our own knowledge at times. Sometimes my design work isn't that straight forward and client's plans change or they actually change their minds and sometimes clients simply can't face moving forward, which I completely understand. I'd started a lovely design project only to find my client whom I've known for many years, simply didn't feel she could carry on and lost confidence in her ideas., it happens. On...

Sometimes I just sit at my desk nearly all day, forgetting to get up often enough and then realise I need to, falling out of the habit of walking the dog more than once.

I haven't written a blog since January, despite telling my clients to write one each month!

Very pleased to see the new Xtremevan website go live today. We have been working on it on and off since spring but put it all on hold over the summer because their sister company Xtreme Wake was so busy. A few weeks ago after the lake closed for the season we picked up from where we left off. Although there is a video to add to the home page and also an online store, that will come after Christmas, for now it is live. Xtremevan's old website had been causing them many issues for several years and I started...
