03/3/2008 So much to do this year. Looking into an EMBA and have taken up training again with Danii. Also working on another new project which is ripe for a new version. |
26/01/2008 Model Comp is live. Vote for your favourite model or grab a badge to put on your Bebo/Myspace etc to show your support. |
08/01/2008 Sugarscape has been covered in the press by PSFK, Brand Republic, NMA and Paid Content. Some alternative views too. When I had the concept of a social bookmarking player, like You Tube for bookmarks (with teen usesr and editorial content), I was not sure how people would get used to it...Its been a good response from users, but we have much to do still. Working on widgets and some other cool features. |
13/12/2007 Sugarscape went live. Off to India for Christmas. Planning to do this. Sugarscape has been an intense project. We used Drupal and yes its in beta and some gremlins. Have a play. Also went for Widgety Goodness in Brighton which was rather good and came across some great companies. |
27/11/2007 We just built our first Elle facebook app for Daily Buy of the day, do check it out. |
06/6/2007 Working on a cool project for Sugar Magazine. Also speaking at Spiked Online debate on Future of Media. Good report by Kevin McCullagh on the debate. Have taken up training in Hyde park with lovely Danielle Levy from Lomax training. |
I've always felt the women's lifestyle space especially magazines are ripe for some serious applied innovation and cool new products. Most magazine sites suck. Its going to be fun working some talented people and hey... might also get some fashion freebies. |
|
08/3/2007 Have been selected to represent BBC at the British Creative Exchange event created by Revelation magazine. Have been building an installation with Betasynth titled "How are you today?" Inspired from the infamous Microsoft tagline in the 90s "Where do you want to go today?". Exploring people's Digital Wellbeing..their attitude towards their daily interactions with digital product and services. The private view is on 16th March at the La Viande gallery. |
01/3/2007 Have been invited to X Media Labs as mentor for FICCI FRAMES in Mumbai to mentor start-ups in the digital entertainment space. Shekar Kapur will be there, that's great. Also working on a very interesting project with multiple broadcasters. The whole iPTV VOD space is going to get more interesting. |
|
Also since becoming Innovation executive at BBC Innovation and Strategy,
my portfolio involves mobile innovation and funding
get-togethers like Min-Bar. Working with Tiggdo,
Ymogen and BBC Events on various
interesting mobile related projects. |
10/11/2006 DWB presents "Into the Woods" the next collection which celebrates all things inspired by nature and technology. We have been covered now by Dazed and Confused, Cool Hunting and World Changing. Also working on the Christmas collection. A bit crazy with office work and store, but learning a lot. Went for my first tech call to fix a bunny in Clapham the other day. Cycled from Whitecity. Also started consulting with Trusted Places to move their site into the next level... |
08/8/2006 Taking unpaid leave to work on Digital Wellbeing Store with Alexander. Its being launched at the Shop at Bluebird on Kings Road for the London Design Festival. The first collection is Black & White due to launch on 14th September. We have got some amazing products (software and hardware lined up in various lifestyle groupings). The invite I had coded also managed to hit CSS Mania site of the day :) |
11/04/2006 Produced and directed exhibition "Beyond Broadcast - BBC in an onDemand world" to make tangible BBC Creative Futures strategy and changes in organisation. We built a living home triggered by RFID interactions. There was a fictitious family made up of actors living there who showed around 2000 BBC employees projects that would affect homes- from living room to work spaces. Worked with an amazing bunch of talented people. You can see it in action here |
21/3/2006 Ashley presented iMP at Mix06. Bill Gates says "Well, that's a phenomenal interface..." Its been well worth it :) You can see it in action on BBC News. |
26/2/2006 Finished Future Search project. Its been a great project. Working now towards something for Mix06... Relentless. |
