Dunning–Kruger strikes again.
Only gone and chipped my front tooth 🙄

For year two, I want to keep focusing on 'sense-making'. Dream projects would be arts/heritage/third-sector orgs that value thought over noise.
I've got two agencies and another freelancer on my books, but it wouldn't hurt to have a couple more. I've got some availability over summer to fill.

The slower pace freed up mental space for @bledwel@mastodon.social; my side-quest into menstruation in movies. A new brand and a proper website.
Because research and empathy will matter more than ever in a world of generated content, right? Right?!

I wasn’t sure what the mix would look like in our current "Skynet" era. I’ve dropped into some pretty varied worlds over the last 12 months:
– 40+ #Hubspot components for a media giant.
– #Webflow CMS build for food wholesale.
– #Astro build and UI design for facilities management.
– A safety-training design system in #Figma.
My tools change, but the goal is the same: handling the "front-of-the-front-end" with a focus on stewardship rather than just output.

One year working freelance 🗓️👩💻
Fourteen years of TUPE processes and mergers meant I had a good buffer when taking voluntary redundancy.
It's been a deliberately relaxed year. Not out of a lack of ambition, but from a desire to be more methodical. Less work, but better work (I'm under no illusions that it will always be this way). 1/4
How much will I regret it if I finally cave and upgrade my MacBook OS to Tahoe? On a scale of 1 of 10? 🍎💻🍏

@matuzo If you’re near Centraal, hop on the ferry over the river and go to Polly Goudvisch. It’s just on the other side ⛴️
A full day moving around rectangles 👩💻
Nothing has me longing for telekinetic powers more than leaving a mug of tea on the opposite side of a room.

@keithamus@indieweb.social Also great for suddenly seeing how dirty your screen is 🤢
