Skatepark designed by champion & architect
I’m fascinated by the way people interact with the spaces they inhabit and visit. Everything from the way rooms are lit by the sun and by the lights around us; to the very set-ups of Macs and PCs at our desks – think about it: this is where – in our industry anyway – we spend so much time here, the influence of the objects and spaces we inhabit is enormous.
But what is greater still is the consideration and dynamic designs of the spaces people move in. And skate parks are a testament to that. Click here to read more »

Valentina: Her first revolution of the sun

So you want to ‘get into social media’, huh?
Firstly, I’ve written posts that make me think I should have opened the fucking kool-aid stand. Oh well. Sue me: I’m doing a 180. But then again, if I didn’t make as many mistakes as I had, I wouldn’t have learned a damn thing. If my coaches and mentors hadn’t said ‘wait, wait, wait, stop – wtf are you talking about?’ I wouldn’t have realised as much as I have.
This week I’ve started building and training the new digital and social media team: and what’s apparent from both agencies and clients alike, is that there’s all these rules and all this musts and it’s all.. bullshit.
