Sketching up a responsive site before going into wireframing and mood boards tomorrow. Using my new UIStencils for sketching, UX Movement's Interface Library 3.5 and the Less Framework stencils for wireframing.
More+Yes.
More+It's been a rough couple of weeks, with bronchitis and asthma beating me up a bit. But I'm back.
More+This week has been a bit mad. I moved house on the hottest day in Sydney since 1926, finalised wireframes and specifications for a big site build, prepared and presented a content strategy for a Google project, drew up 3 IA documents and some analytics research and documentation.

I love academic research, but academia's not for me.

Similarly, I've had some great fun working as a producer and social media person, but I don't know if that's where I want to focus. There's not really a career path there yet. While I'm inclined to agree...
