Eyes Open

I recently bought the IDEO Eyes Open guidebook for London from Amazon as I was interested in it's concept, which is to explore and experience your surroundings in a different way. It is essentially a guidebook that highlights a number of places not on the traditional tourist trail, but I like the idea of really looking at what is going on around me as I feel that my observational skills may be a bit rusty after becoming desensitised by the bustle of the commute.

I'm keen to check out some of the suggestions that are nearby, especially as I've been here for almost a year and I still feel like I haven't seen all the things that I should have by now. It will also give me an excuse to take a few photos again (another thing which I seem to have neglected since moving here).

Long overdue update

As the title suggests it has been rather a long time since I last updated this blog. I will try to quickly summarise what I've been up to, and hopefully this will instigate more regular postings.

So, I have now begun my career in user research at One to One Insight in London. I'm doing customer experience research and learning more and more every day. London life is hectic but enjoyable and definitely gets a bit more sun than Scotland in the summer!

From now on I will attempt to more frequently document my thoughts and observations on people, design and technology. I am also now the owner of a twitter account, and so may use it to give brief updates.
