As of 6 February, 2010, I have been without my iPhone. It’s been
unbelievably difficult for me, as a web developer and geek, to
properly function without it. You do not realise how reliant
everyone is upon technology until you lose it. Unsurprisingly it is
really quite hard going from having the whole internet at your
call and fingertips, to going to a big, archaic pre-iPhone piece
of rubbish. If this experience taught me one thing though, I am
very dependent on technology, simply just to wile away the time;
even sat in bed, my iPhone was a major part of me seeing what
revelations the web had in store.

March 4th, 2010

Too much time on my hands!

Pastures new—from Sense to Venturelab

I applied the job at Sense when I was 17. My interviewer was my soon to be boss and Creative Director Tony Jacobs. Just from seeing the company and meeting Tony I knew this was where I wanted to work.

Customer service—a company’s biggest asset
January 10th, 2010
Recently, when buying products or dealing with companies, I have been noticing something, and its profound effects on me—customer service. You can deal with a business and get exactly what you’re after, but it is in that process that some companies can really shine beyond others, and that some can really leave a bad taste in your mouth…

Moo business cards—most impressive
January 9th, 2010
After so long with no type of business cards to speak of, I decided to design myself some new ones. I wanted to use the pink I use on the site (#f43059) but I also wanted to shy away from using the obvious choice of Helvetica (although it is a beautiful typeface). Instead I opted for Din, which I think works amazingly well in context. I also decided to use Moo for the printing, and I am extremely glad I did…
