Ello again folks! Something I've been meaning to do for ageeeees. Like literally since I moved down to London 10months ago(!!!), was to start sharing monthly updates of things I got up to, places I ate at and just a general chit chat about things I did. I'll be perfectly honest, the photography in these posts will not be top notch, especially if it's...
It's that time of year again, where students all across the country start freaking. 2 years ago I had my spell of freaking. You've graduated from university and now your thrust into the "real world". You see people all around you that have left from your class, or friends on social media starting jobs and internships while you are stuck back at home...
'Sup! So today I wanted to give a bit of a heads up to something I'm doing this week which is taking over The Design Weans instagram account for the week. TDW was set up by Jonny Mowat, a fellow Aberdeenshire bred designer! The account aims to showcase the work from Glasgow (or I guess Scottish) designers and give them a platform to connect...
Hello! So today I wanted to chat about an event I went to recently, Commercial Work VS Creative Passion set up and organised by SheSaysUK with partnership from Major Players. There was an all-female line up of speakers including Business Artist Lola Lansa who ran the discussion with Illustrator Tegan Price, Photographer Catherine Losing and Designer Sadie Clayton sharing what it's like to be commissioned...
Ello and welcome back. Today on the blog I've got another book review. This time I have an offering from an author I hadn't heard of before, Jackie Kabler, with her book The Development. As usual this is another crimey books but one that's a bit lighter in tone and humour so definitely perfect to pick up in the hot weather as of...
'Sup! It's been a while hasn't it? Nevermind... Since my last post, I've definitely had a hectic 2months with getting settled in our new flat, as well as family visits and events. But the one thing that's probably kept me most occupied for the last few weeks is this years edition of #the100dayproject. Now I've attempted the project in both 2016 and 2017...
Another post coming from me today but tbh I've had a bit of a backlog of posts that have been needing to go out and I just haven't with the overwhelm, stress and organisation that moving into a new flat brings. Although one thing that certainly helps calm you down is a fantastic meal, right? Back at the end of January I was...
Goood evening and welcome back to my corner of the internet. The blog schedules been a bit scattered lately hasn't it? Apologise! I'm finishing up this blog post in the comfort of a new flat that we moved into this weekend. So it's fair to say things have been a bit hectic the last few weeks in order to get everything sorted. One...
Hello! Sorry for no blog post the last week or so, with a mix of things on over the past week or so I just needed some chill time. But anyway here's today's post! Working as a graphic designer, especially during early stages, there is often a lot of opportunity to get excited and feel proud with the work you do. And as...
Today I planned on sharing a blog post talking about the work I did on a magazine at work but I actually changed my mind this morning to something else, so that post will come over the weekend. The 6th of February actually marks 1 year since my first day of officially working as a designer on an internship basis but it also...
One thing I've been thinking about a lot lately is how to be a fulfilled creative person when the majority of your life is consumed by being interested in creative related outputs. From working full time as a designer to also developing this blog, social media content and my own lettering projects, it can feel exhausting to be creating content or designs all...
How's 2018 been for you so far? I wish I could say it's been easy sailing but it hasn't, with family passings, looking for flats and needing to cancel your bank card it's been stressful to say the least. But on the flip side, there have been thins that have been going fine including making plans to see friends, feeling creatively inspired and...
