Can’t quite believe that (after months of planning) our @designfestbrum exhibition ‘The Creative City’ is now filling the Debenhams end of the @bullring with colour! 🤩
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖 HUGE thanks to @miss_dannib & team for making it happen, to the gang at @fisherprint_tlc for their brilliant vinyl wrapping skills, and of course especially to all our generous artists for letting us delight many more eyeballs with your beautiful submissions. Things like this don’t just ‘happen’ — they’re long in the planning, and I’m so pleased that 3+ years after we first sat down with the Bullring together we’ve produced something so impactful which will be seen by a huge new audience. It should be up for many months so if you get chance please go check it out! 🎉 #thecreativecity
PSA to anyone (esp students) ordering business cards — better to get 50 nice ones than 1000 cheapos — and folks like @moo offer some great off the shelf options. I probs give out less than one a month, but it’s nice to feel happy with them when ya do.
Twice a year for the last 4 years I’ve had the pleasure of working on the season programme for @therepbirmingham — mostly with Craig and always with Sarah. Thankful for this work, and to @paolo_feltron for pointing me in the right direction. Always keen to do more tactile / print work.

Papped at ‘Life in Colour: Workplace Edition’ last week 👀
A real privilege to have been invited (out of my comfort zone), to take part in last Thursday’s event, chatting all things colour, co-working and community 🎉
I was in excellent company alongside @gurtake Singh and Ellen Willis – with the panel smoothly hosted by @ribawestmids ’s Matt Blakeley – and all brought together by the lovely Lauren Burnett 💙
