I’m still alive!

... I write whenever I have something to share, which recently hasn't been that often.

If it's been quiet, it might be because my alter-ego, Seamstress Sophie, has been busy making things.

Do you like quotes?



(You like quotes? More, more, MORE!)

Behind the scenes…

  • December books. . Maigret: interesting snippets of life “back then”. Enjoying reading french, and murder mysteries. . Brand gap: must read for anyone. Only takes an hour or two. . Brand flip: another must read. They both talk about how customers define the brand, not the marketing department. Controversial? Read it 😉 . La Parisienne - remember when it came out. Have nothing in common with the author, but love her collections with @uniqlo_uk. Cute design, easy read. Not a reference book, and not a masterpiece. . Sane new world. Umm. Entertaining-ish physiology lesson about parts of the brain. Then a list of things that make mindfulness good. Bit of an odd read. Wouldn’t tell anyone to pick it up. #bookworm #bookstagram
  • #topnine2019 Feeling the peer pressure there :) but also: another chance to add some blue!! What / where 1 Surgery scar, London 2 Splatter dress, London 3 That’s Keros in the back, Koufonisi 4 Playing with a fountain, Budapest 5 Eiffel tower lights, Paris 6 Canal lights, Amsterdam 7 Sea, Koufonisi 8 Colourful door, Barcelona 9 Instagrammable passageway, London It’s been a year with quite a few flight segments 🤫✈️ #travelbuggy
  • It snowed in ATHENS!!!! One more blue pic before 2019 pops off like a cork off a Champagne bottle. 🍾 Oh. And the traditional family selfie for the road :)
  • 😘 in a tunnel with lights
  • Happy solstice! Throwback to a #milkyway photo @von_dartleroy 😘 took this summer. 💙 You can tell it was a long exposure from the trail the plane left in the photo 🤣. Still cannot believe I found a place in the world where I can look up every night and see THAT. 🤯 (the naked eye does not need long exposures to see it!!)
  • Is it work? Is it fun? We’ll never know. It is #UX... Expanding my little toolkit of Design Workshop activity cards. I write them by hand so I can learn them 😉. Typing just doesn’t trigger the same level of neuroplasticity (if you want to get technical, ask a neuroscientist). Then I card sort 🤯 to shape the flow of the workshop I am designing. The activities come from 2 books (100 Methods of Design and Gamestorming), I experienced them in a workshop, or I invented them to serve a workshop need. I am thinking of making a printed deck of them (I’d type it up in InDesign so you don’t have to decipher my squiggles). If this is appealing to you as a practitioner (or random human interested in design workshops) leave a comment!! (Btw, forgive the UX researcher in me, but If there’a 100 activities, how much would you pay for the deck? 😁) Table in the background by my beloved @chairsandcoffee. The pouch with the cat face is @longchamp. The pen is @parkerpen (the only pen to appear on tv in vintage shows like @maiseltv. It’s been around THAT long) with a black gel ink refill. Cards are from @ryman from when they made smooth ones. And if anyone nerds out on my weird rimless glasses, they’re from @lindbergeyewear. #stationery #UX #design #uxdesign #uxdesigner #UXArchitect #designworkshop
  • Empire des lumières. Made in Hammersmith. Wondered if the phone would catch the complexity of the lights, the twigs of the tree and the blue of the sky outlined over the houses. Turns out it could. #iPhone11pro

  • November was a quiet month... I was on a project which meant long days, and the need to read fiction in order to disconnect. 💙 Circe - a first-person account of Circe’s life. Masterful, beautiful and casually epic. I will probably read it again. Enjoyed the audiobook version. Brilliantly immersive. Made me wish I could search audiobooks by narrator... 🧐 Maigret - Wanted fiction, was on a french case so reading english at the end of the day would hinder my fluency the next day, and I had to find something I hadn’t read that wasn’t too dark. And I remembered my dad’s recommendation of Georges Simenon. They’re interesting character tales and snippets of life. Not murder mysteries in the grander scheme of things. They aren’t quite whodoneits. Or perhaps they are... the Balzac version of a whodoneit 🤣 but with less exacting language. 🤫 Wouldn’t call them fun. But loved reading about humans who had fought in the first world war. We are forgetting the wars, as a generation. I fear that this will bite us in the 🍑. #bookworm #novemberReads #bookstagram
