Time to read: 4 minutesI have participated in NaNoWriMo since first discovering it the early 2ks. I have managed to “win” (write 50’000 words in 30 days) ONCE. It is a daunting challenge of quantity over quality. And this year I am planning to cheat. I will write essays instead of a Novel, and below I share the topics […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minuteI went to the Horst P. Horst exhibit at the V&A the other week. My favourite photograph of his was one of the Odalisque, which was impossible to find in postcards or booklets. This one, the famous corset one that made the cover of Vogue was another one I rather liked. This Sunday, I used […] continue reading »
Time to read: 6 minutesOk, so I didn’t fix it. I just did something slightly OCD only for me. My friend saw what I’d done, loved it, and encouraged me to tell the story and the vision of what FNO could, some day, have. what is FNO? A few weeks ago was the much-anticipated Vogue’s Fashion Night Out. The […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutesPeople with my skills have been called UI designers, business analysts, information architects, interaction designers and a few other things besides. This is confusing and tiring. I have chosen “UX Architect”, and I have a reason. Firstly, “UX” stands for user experience, and is an offshoot of Human-Computer Interaction. My choice of “UX Architect” is […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minuteI was once tasked with improving the web experience of a large asset management company, who will remain nameless. Spending enough time exploring the site, being curious and multilingual, I also poked around the various regional options when opening the site. That was when I noticed that every time you wanted to access a local […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minuteThis Saturday, i popped into the V&A to meet a friend for some sketching. I am quick-ish, whereas she is more meticulous. After maybe 45min, i had these two sketches. Hers was still in progress, and is way nicer than my quick doodles. Happy sketchbook Monday! […] continue reading »
Time to read: 4 minutesForget the jetpack. Where is my idea-to-blog app? Seriously. What does it take to note, write, edit, and publish in one place? And why is it so hard to write away from a computer? I don’t have the time to write anymore. And I think that tech is partially responsible for this, as I am […] continue reading »
Time to read: 3 minutesAs I start thinking about the incipit (first few words) of this article, I realise I was about to describe my outfit to you. Then I stopped. There is nothing wrong with my outfit. There is nothing wrong with me. The men who holler out “hey sexy” are the ones who are wrong. Not me. […] continue reading »
Time to read: 6 minutesI did not read. I took photos instead. A lot of photos. Last month, I went to Venice (for the third time). I went with The Man, who finally said that Venice “exceeded [his] expectations”. This isn’t something I’ll hear often, especially not about holidays. San Marco The most famous thing about Venice is St […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutesI read a lot. I am always reading. Street signs, menus, books on the tube, magazines with my coffee, newspaper headlines as i pass a newsstand. I am a reader. My favourite escape and one of my favourite pastimes in life is to expose my brain to new experiences, information, emotions and ideas, using books. […] continue reading »
