A little interlude this morning alongside the usual work. There is no getting away from it when you work from home and I think it's really important to get up very regularly from my desk and stretch my legs, so I'd might as well use that time well. It's a Shopify day and one of design ideas for a few people, so lots of thinking going on... I quite like days like this. Having the time to think about the way something will look, checking with the client to see if they like it too, I find quite relaxing. I...

I took yesterday off drove to Windsor and enjoyed a wonderful day walking round the castle and soaking up the atmosphere.  A complete break from the day to day, lots of fresh air and only a little rain. I absolutely loved it. Mixed in with 2021's goals were also some personal goals like visiting all the wonderful places I have seen throughout my working life of always being 'too busy'. It's easy to feel that you need to stay glued to your office chair 24 hours a day when you work for yourself, forgetting it's you who calls the shots....

I shout from my desk. Quite a bit of design work on and the completion of a few projects with a...

I'm really enjoying the new design work I'm getting in, I absolutely love creating logo's and coming up with colour schemes, whether from scratch or based on a clients ideas. This weeks success story is the new logo for Bunniikids, a sub brand of Bunny and Clarke, more info on our branding page on the website. Although I love colour and cuteness, I also like bold and dynamic and traditional, I'm not a one trick pony! But give me colour any day. The...

A few weeks ago I got a call from Michelle Kent, PT and Sports Massage Therapist. I stupidly thought she was going to ask me about her new re-brand, which she did in the end, but began by asking if I'd return to her Wednesday morning circuit training class, caught totally unawares of course I replied 'yes.' Without a minute to think, I just thought... 'well I really need to go' hence my reply. Michelle then went on to say she was ready to pick up from where we left off last year having started her re-brand from Kent Country...
