It’s been a while…

…since the last post, too long in fact. I’ve had various developments in my professional life that have kept me pretty busy recently, and it’s meant neglecting the blog somewhat. I start at a new agency in a couple of weeks after almost 6 months spent as a designer in an internal team, and I’m very much looking forward to getting back into a studio again.

I’ve got a few plans for the blog, including a fresh install on my own host, as well as finally finishing off my own site and getting that live, hopefully in the next couple of months.

S&M/SEA

After catching a 5.30 train down to London for a flying visit at the weekend a hearty breakfast was in order, and where better to go than the S&M cafe in Islington. So why post here? As well as doing a bloody good breakfast, S&M employed the ever brilliant SEA to create their identity.
