Distance at Manchester Home Open Exhibition 2022!

Don't mind saying I'm super chuffed to be picked for it, and I sincerely hope that no pandemic related grimness gets in the way of an amazing exhibition.

Building the new Luc Hoffmann Institute Website

Way back in December 2019 I was invited to help relaunch the Luc Hoffmann Institute's website, an environmental organisation dedicated to maintaining biodiversity in life on earth through innovative projects. I'd already been working on updating the site in its previous form which was showing a little bit of age and using a page builder. […]
