I attended the Right Aligned event in Leeds a couple of weeks ago, really well organised, with some excellent speakers. The thing that stuck in my mind was a question from an audience member ‘What do you do when you have a blank page and no ideas?’.

We’ve been around for a bit; in fact, when someone asks me how long I’ve been a designer, it haunts me to think it’s been over 14 years. In my heart I’m still in my early 20s. Art is my Career (AIMC) has existed since Covid (do we still measure time based on when Covid was?!).
