• The Clearleft podcast and the decline of design

  The first season of the Clearleft podcast concluded this week, and in what feels like a rare event these days, I need to have a little rant about what I heard.

• 100 Days

  I’ve returned to 68 Middle Street just in time for the start of 100 days, a collaborative project where the aim is to complete a creative process every day for one hundred days.

• Changing Gears

  I’m leaving the Guardian and going freelance in March.

• Moving In, Moving On

  This weekend I will move into a new flat, the first I’ve owned rather than rented. While I’m trying not to see buying a property as an act of settling down, that I’ve bought somewhere in Brighton suggests I’ve found a city I’m happy to call home. This is partly thanks to Clearleft, the design agency I joined in 2009.

• Visual Design Explorations

  Since Mikey joined us in February, the number of designers working at Clearleft is at an all time high. As the company grows, we want to maintain the same level of knowledge sharing and collaboration that happened more spontaneously with a smaller team.

• Two Years

  Two years ago I joined Clearleft. Now with the responsive design movement in full swing, I look back over the last two years to see how much my approach to web design has changed.

• Ampersand & More

  Much of the excitement has come in the form of web conferences, and looking back, I find it surprising just how many I’ve attended this year already.

• A Greener Conference Badge for dConstruct

  dConstruct has long combined its conference programme with the name badge, a simple yet cost-effective design. This year we hope to go one better.

• Learning to Sketch

  With Dave Gray speaking at this year’s UX London, Andy asked if he would then visit Brighton and run a sketching workshop for everyone at Clearleft.

• Hello Clearleft

  Continuing the trend of this blog documenting events that happened several weeks ago, this month saw me become the ninth member of the Brighton based web agency Clearleft.
