So last week was my last week at Max-TM and to mark the occation I thought I’d do a photoblog of a day - something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. Unfortunately I never got a chance to complete the set (there’s usually more people in the office than that) but you get [...]

List Freak
Until now I’ve always written lists on paper and last year I was introduced to using an (executive) diary [...]

The last few weeks have been pretty hectic whilst various projects have been coming to a close. Here’s one I’ve been working on for Max-TM outside of my design stuff that I found quite interesting – A Prize Draw Campaign for Gourmet Garden.
