Blog / News

It’s been a while since the last post on this blog and I like to think I have a good excuse.  Since December 2010 (December the 1st to be exact) I have been otherwise engaged in feeding, changing and generally entertaining my gorgeous baby Alanna.  Incredibly she is now nearly 18 months old and emerging from the chrysalis of babydom into a walking, talking little girl and I am emerging from this intense period of motherhood and have started to make work again.  Most recently I’ve been working on various posters for band BluesMix who just released their third album, Flat Nine, and am currently putting together a new website for painter Daniel Shadbolt – look out for that in the work section soon.  If you have a project and you’d like us to help, please do get in touch – Draw() is once again open for business.

Welcome to our blog on the new draw() website. We’ll still be posting about exciting art, design and code that we’ve seen but now if you head over to the work area you can also see our latest projects.  If you want to know more about draw() or are interested in working with us please do get in touch.

For the past three years I’ve been heading up the creative department at digital marketing agency Nitro Digital, which has been exciting, challenging – a learning curve. However I will be waving a sad farewell to my colleagues at Nitro at the end of February and from the first of March will be starting my own design studio, draw().

Draw() will be specialising in creating innovative design with technology at its core. Programming and electronics will be used to create experiences that are interactive, exciting and highly visual.

A new website with details of past work will shortly be launching at www.designbydraw.com, and this blog will be moving address at the same time. In the meantime if you’d like to know more or receive a copy of my portfolio please drop me a line at hello@designbydraw.com.

I was delighted when Ask Magazine showed an interest in my Pentominoes game and asked if it could be included in their website to accompany an article in the September issue about Archimedes, who amongst other things created the mathematical puzzle Ostomachion.  The puzzle consists of 14 pieces dissected from a square that can then be rearranged to form a wide variety of other shapes and figures.   Naturally I was intrigued and you can now play the puzzle on their site here.
