Love’s money pot My days tends to be spent in front of my Mac working on latest client projects, combined with time in meetings or catching up with some amazing creative people to discuss ideas for projects. I also love taking time out each week to work on my own personal projects, be it screenprinting, sewing or tinkering with…

Tea-infused balancing act My working day tends to be a bit of chaos, a bit of calm and everything in between. As a working mum getting the kids out the door and getting to the office can be, let’s say, an interesting process! Once at work it’s very much about taking the mum hat off and getting stuck…

The 3 P’s of focus My working day tends to be lots of different tasks .. lecturing and mentoring students, curriculum development, university administration, project work with industry partners – as well as trying to fit in my own research, and film and interactive media practice. I have to refocus a lot, trying to shift gears in…

Achievement is the fuel of life My working day tends to be multi-faceted. As a working mom with two young daughters, I spend a good 16 hours day starting with sending my kids to school at 7:15 a.m., doing a different work-out or sport at 9 a.m. everyday except Saturday, doing office work from 11 a.m.…

White and rose hold the key When I come home from the outside world I love walking into my ‘sanctuary’. As a freelance journalist and emerging producer (yes, that’s what they call it), I’m always on the go – interviewing and exploring story concepts, ideas and lives. So my home is designed to feel peaceful and ‘away from it…

In the company of great stories My working day tends to be a string of calls and emails until around 10am when I stop and switch on for BBC’s Radio4 Woman’s Hour. This is when I take a little break, make a pot of coffee and plan for the day. So I can’t get by without…

Inspiration in a glance My day may consist of teaching lampshade making or a showing a group of children how to make cushions. I could be upholstering a 100 year old chair in trendy modern fabric or painting a new chest of drawers to look distressed and vintage. But, in my office, my chalk board…

More than musical accompaniment My working day tends to be so varied! I freelance graphic design in between playing and writing music – so usually I’ll be at my computer, then on the lounge songwriting, then out at a pub playing that night. All in all, my day is a whirl of creativity from start to finish.…

Cool as .. My working day tends to be pure energy … I have limited time on this earth and I have a lot I want/need to do. I’m a visual person and am always putting things on my noticeboard that motivate me or make me happy, or represent what I aspire to in the…

Yarning with artificial intelligence My working day tends to be quite varied! One moment I’m knitting and in the next moment I might be designing a pattern or wrapping and posting out my orders. So I can’t get by without my tablet because it organises me. I always know when I’ve sold an item or…
