Pants.

Jogging bottoms, crumpled by the bed.

I picked them up, turned them outside in, and noticed how small they were.

My heart filled with joy.

As big as my boy is getting, he is still a child, in the midst of childhood, wearing children’s clothes and leaving them crumpled by the bed.

True or false?

Dig a hole or make a mound;
you’re shovelling either way.
What you end up with
depends on you.

A journalist once accused me of being a snowflake.

“I’d rather be a snowflake than a hailstone”, I replied.

To this day, I don’t understand why being woke or a snowflake is an insult.

Sometimes, I am so busy procrastinating I don’t have the capacity to work.

After all, I am too busy.

My son struggles to go out in the world.

He is autistic. For him, that means the noise and unpredictability of the world is too much—especially when he cannot easily return to a safe space.

We support him and, when possible, create opportunities for him to stretch into.

This is a sentence.
👆That is a fact.

I think facts are interesting.
👆That is an opinion.

Not all opinions are facts.
👆That is information based on data.

Data-based information is accurate.
👆That is an opinion presented as a fact.

You now know more about the facts.
👆 That is determined by you.

After years of self-doubt, it was the writing and illustration of a short story for my toddler convinced me that I could design for others.

Since then, I have designed countless brand identities and founded Postagrid – a creative agency dedicated to distinctive content branding.

Roll on 2025!

It’s almost that time of year when parents go to bed and remember they still haven’t moved Elf.

At least, that's my experience. 😬

But not this year!! 🎉

This year, I created a list of 72 simple-to-implement activities requiring minimal prep. And I’m giving it away!

I congratulated someone for completing a Rubik’s cube.

They replied “I used a book.”

“Still impressive”, I commented.

In the last two decades, I can count the number of times I have heard people talking about Jaguar on one hand.

Scrap that; I'd forgotten the brand entirely.

That was until their recent, controversial rebrand.

Suddenly, Jaguar is a hot topic.

A few days before Christmas, you can usually find me manically hunting for presents, and panicking that I don’t have any wrapping paper.

Not this time, baby!

Forget Jingle bells, I’m singing

I brain-dumped a to-do list into an auto-transcriber. It turns out I spoke Welsh and had no idea.

Either that or tech can see the jumbled mess in my brain.

I suspect the latter is most likely. 😂

Often, the biggest challenges to growth come not from oppressors, but from those who inhibit us out of fear or ignorance.

Even so, we have a choice:

• Climb down to argue,
• Climb higher and assert superiority,
• Build walls for protection and keep them down,
• Or reach down to help them climb.

This morning, I have mostly been exploring starter packs. I am looking forward to having my feed filled with the thoughts of creatives, dreamers, and wonky thinkers.
