Fun fact: Charterhouse Square, a gorgeous little park around the corner from Barbican, is London’s largest plague pit. There are over 50,000 bodies buried under here!

Doing v4 of my personal website before I even pushed v3. But THIS TIME I WILL ACTUALLY GET IT OUT.

Currently just stealing all of the inspiration from @strange.website.

Another day another quick mess about with figma for illustration. This time playing with a bit of negative space for a little night-time cat illustration

Another day another mess about with illustrating in Figma. This time a little skele head.

Back from the fjords and once again I'm petitioning to start a commune in Norway. Why do I have to come home 😭😭

Fun little poster I did for Sugar Free down in Brighton for the Chase Petra gig. Loved playing with the crystalize setting in photoshop to get the ink bleed effect.

Had a bit of a play in Figma to see if I could create a Jeosung Saja after watching Kpop Demon Hunters at the weekend. It's... fine. 😅

A huge thank you to everyone who came down to Side Quest last night! Loving the fact that a bunch of people came down on a hot sweaty day to listen to some nerds nerd out about the things they love.

Just finished this book and jesus christ is it a sobering read. I'd never thought deeply about how much the music industry enables, glorifies and normalises self-destruction. Even in my little DIY corner of it, I can recognise how easy it is to go off the rails.

Interesting to see that Figma Sites has started to fix the inaccessible soup that was being outputted. It's still a loooong way off, but at least making steps, right?

So glad that the folks who run Paradigms are really thinking about accessibility on their website...

Little article i wrote inspired by @joshtumath.uk talking about the design system priority of constituencies.

Also designed this poster if you want to print one out and stick it to your office wall! (download links in the article for PDF versions)

Got myself a stupid pretend analog camera (Camp Snap) and I'm loving the nostalgia of taking terrible photos.
