Frontend Designer at @statamic.com, where I spend my days refining the most beautiful CMS in the world. I love writing modern ✨CSS✨ straight in DevTools workspaces—I swear I’m the only one doing that… what an amazing workflow. From 🏴 and live in London.
There are only 2 note-perfect comedy series—The Office (UK) and Fleabag. Every single scene has me wriggling inside with pure joy 🥲
Well apparently there is a remastered 4K version of the BBC Pride and Prejudice miniseries that you can't watch anywhere in the UK ☹️ Oh, you take delight in vexing me! It was available on BritBox, but since it was absorbed by ITVX it's disappeared. What a travesty.
I've tried at least 3x to move from Figma -> Sketch, but just can't make it work for me 😔 Sketch has some awesome newer stuff, like it's command palette (YESSS), and I love its UI. But there too many weird friction points, like the preview window behaviour, and Figma is so zippy in comparison
I’m currently looking for remote freelance or full-time opportunities in web development. Expertise in Laravel, Vue, React, Alpine.js, Livewire but open to anything. 12 years of experience. Available immediately. France, UK, Europe.
I'm very late but only just catching up with The Last of Us Season 2, after recently replaying the game. Wow, Eugene's death (which wasn't in the game) was such a brilliant mechanism to show Ellie who Joel really is. Very clever and lucid writing—and a mesmerising performance from Joe Pantoliano
Everything here is CSS, thanks to anchor positioning. I'm having so much fun in 2026
Hot take: being easy to work with is _just_ as important as technical skill
A quiet edge in freelance work: Being easy to work with. Responsive when things get unclear. Honest when timelines slip. Dependable when it matters. Technical skill alone is not enough. Be someone who removes friction for the people hiring you. Clients remember who made the process feel simple.
A great article by @addyosmani.bsky.social addyosmani.com/blog/cogniti... Offload; don't surrender. "Cognitive offloading is delegating to the AI and still owning the answer. Cognitive surrender is when the AI’s output quietly becomes your output and there is nothing you feel is left to check."

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.
Today I learnt Stupid Girl by Garbage samples the riff of Train In Vain by The Clash
Well the new Studio Display is going _right back_. The colour temperature felt weirdly orange next to my MacBook Air. Maybe it’s fine in isolation, but my 8 year old LG Ultrafine fits much better with my MacBook display. So odd. Looked around at some alternatives and the BenQ MA270S looks perfect.
This is exactly what LinkedIn feels like haha

I’m really excited to be working on the next version of Statamic Forms this week. I’ve moved from the “blank canvas I hate everything” phase to the “starting to get a buzz” design stride. Design is either torture or joy. Nothing in between!
I tried to love Penpot, I really did—but there are just a few too many keyboard-related friction points for me. It doesn't seem like you can quickly rename layers with a nice shortcut (F2 is weird), and even pressing `?` to bring up shortcuts doesn't actually focus the search box 😮💨
it’s important to keep caring about how things work and how they’re built
If anyone is looking for someone to help with your video work, may I suggest my brother Joseph? Full on editing, sound/music/light motion design for long form, short/social, you name it. He's gotten so stinkin' good. https://josephmcdade.com/
Protest and purchase power absolutely work. The plummeting of Tesla sales in Europe, Elon exiting the White House, the rise of vegan products and menus, the popularity of actually-good zero alcoholic drinks. Carefully boycotting or choosing goods/services shapes the world we live in.
After lamenting Plumtree (band) disbanding for a few decades, I've been listening to Ratboys new album (Singin' to an Empty Chair) and grinning
lol they removed the racist video and blamed staff. Paffetic mate.
It me! P.s. if any focus states upset you in Statamic come to me 😃
Saw a really cool hover effect and made this meme depicting me at work (I am goose)
How is this not everywhere on the news? Normalised
This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.
In case you missed it, @statamic.com 6 has been released this week. And I think there are three standout features that will help improve the DX for devs, and the UX for content authors. What do you think? What's your top feature in Statamic 6? www.youtube.com/watch?v=q40Q...

Trust is interesting because it’s not quantifiable but it certainly is palpable. Teams with trust move lightning speeds faster than those without.
