Scrap that. Just come home from the office, 25 mins before the alarm was supposed to go off. Time to jump in the shower, get ready and jump into the second cab this morning but this time to Heathrow.
Every now and then you fall into a rhythm where things just flow and fall into place. And in very short spaces of time you get a lot done.
In the end, it always comes down to passion. A good idea may define a startup, but passion is what defines an entrepreneur and passion should be what drives every freelancer.

Tonight I held a class over at General Assembly here in London with the purpose of providing an overview of the usage patterns and UX principles you need to consider when designing for multiple devices, as well as provide some hands on experience.
One of the things I want to do more is help startups and entrepreneurs with UX and tonight I taught my first class over at General Assembly here in London
This has been a very busy week. So busy that I failed to post this post (or the other previous two days on time). It’s had me reflect over the future and also write a few lines of advice, to myself, on how to handle the situation.
I can safely say that I’m quite a passionate person. I feel very strongly about the things I really care about. Sometimes that does also make me quite stubborn. Or persistent I should probably say.
Yesterday I wrote about how energy can come in many forms and shapes. In the workplace having a good team to work with, rely on and related to that is the team that you work with.
There are many different ways to recharge your batteries and yesterday I got an almost full duracell load. Just by being around people that I really enjoy being with.
It’s easier to give other people advice than to live by it yourself. But sometimes we’re over complicating what is actually quite simple. It’s about getting things in order so you are able to see the forest amongst all the trees, and about being honest with yourself.
I know a lot of brilliant people and I keep getting to know even more brilliant people. Meeting people and networking is something I really love and it’s important for byflock and my personal goals. Only thing is that it’s also the hardest to keep going at the moment.

Thinking about all the things you should be doing but can’t be doing right now is not getting you anywhere but to frustration land. Instead it’s about identifying the things that really move the ship forward and do them one at the time.
As we continue to work through our products as well as manage everything else including the day job on the side, it’s becoming more clear to me that starting a company is not the hard part. It’s juggling everything around it and staying on top of things.
I’ve been noticing the way the space I’m working in affects the way I work. I’ve always known it made a difference… […] I wish more of us worked in designed spaces. Spaces with variety – with openness for sharing and more enclosed spaces for thinking. Spaces for individuals to
In just over a week’s time I’ll be teaching a class over at General Assembly here in London. It’s about designing for multiple devices.
Today I’ve continued to respond to everyone who wished me a happy birthday and posted on my Facebook wall. It’s touching to see so many people taking the time to write a line and it’s made me think that I should be more organised with keeping track of people who
I’ve just come back from the cinema and am filled with that incredible feeling of opportunity and excitement that you get when you’re inspired. The future is ours to make and nothing is impossible. It’s just about doing and getting the right team of people together.
Today it’s my birthday. When I was a kid our parents made a big thing out of birthdays. We’d go to bed the night before excited about waking up in the morning with that special feeling of ‘it’s my birthday‘. It’s some of my fondest childhood memories and this is
