It’s been a while…

Ben — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 19:43:27 +0000

…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.
