Welcome to the digital workshop
Welcome to my digital garden and workshop. This is where I plant the seeds of ideas, get my hands dirty experimenting with the web, and share what I’m learning along the way.
It’s a space for honest reflection on the craft of creative and technical work – exploring the messy, hands-on process that leads to real insight. You’ll find plenty of posts on marketing and business, but you’ll also find me tending to other interests and stray thoughts that take root.
