After much anticipation, I’m so excited to share Hackney Laces Community Club’s new logo. This is how it will look on various colours of kit. BIG love and thanks to Lucy Groom and Naresh Ramchandani at Pentagram for creating this. Stay tuned, there’s loads more to come!

The Search for Second-hand Clothes
Inspired by the lovely Liv (@theendofthenew) I decided 2012 would be the start of me buying as few new clothes as possible. Women in the UK waste £1.6 billion on clothes they’ll never wear and 1.2 million tonnes of this goes to landfill. Not so good for wallets or the environment. In my bid to… Continue reading The Search for Second-hand Clothes
My Favourite Illustrators
Some more love from Huntley Muir. When I sent over a list of things they needed to do (part of the digital strategy I’m helping them with) they sent me this in response: (As in they are knuckling down). Best clients ever. Oh and ps- this is the Olympic stamp they were commissioned to draw. Cool, eh?
Food Waste: It’s Kind of a Big Deal
Every year over 1.6 million tonnes of food goes to landfill in the UK. That’s huge. And the majority of the waste is completely unnecessary. Where does all the leftover food go in supermarkets? Food that may be perfectly fit for consumption but has packaging that is slightly damaged. Or produce that’s about to go… Continue reading Food Waste: It’s Kind of a Big Deal
Football Club Rules
This week at Laces we decided it was time to come up with some club rules. These are rules to go by when at training and just generally as part of the team. I asked every player to write down a rule or two that they thought was important. And here’s what they came up… Continue reading Football Club Rules
Wordweb, you’ve done good.
Despite years spent as an editor, I’m still pretty rubbish when it comes to spelling. There are a few words that get me every time, like: non-environmental (hyphenated or not?) and commitment (one t or two?). So I installed a brilliant tool called Wordweb, an app that lives on my desktop and lets me spot… Continue reading Wordweb, you’ve done good.
Love from Huntley Muir
I’ve recently taken on a project working with Sue and Donna, two fabulous illustrators who run Huntley Muir E-cards. After a long chat (and far too much coffee!) they sent through this: So nice, right?
Social Innovation Camp: Young People and Health
A Lie in, a fry up and the newspaper in tow are pretty good way to spend a Saturday. But how about this: a Saturday spent working with a group of brilliant, creative. complete strangers solving some pressing health issues facing young people. On Saturday February 25th I’ll be helping the Social Innovation Camp crew… Continue reading Social Innovation Camp: Young People and Health
My Not-So Sustainable Secret
Two words: cat blogs. Just kidding. It’s one word and it’s Paperchase. Yes. I love Paperchase. Aisle upon aisle of brightly coloured, super organised, shiny, lovely stationary. Sometimes I justify my love for stationary products, the same way any addict would do. I think about the 150,000 some odd trees I’ve planted in my uni… Continue reading My Not-So Sustainable Secret
And the Winner is Tap.
Bottled water is one of my biggest bugbears. In countries where drinking water is accessible, free and treated to a high quality standard, there isn’t a need to drink bottled water – especially when in some cases it’s just filtered tap water. Some fine establishments, like Tokyo in London’s Chinatown have embraced the tap and… Continue reading And the Winner is Tap.
