Ephemera

The ramblings of a lunatic expat.

I am Californian who relocated to Melbourne, Australia in 2006..

I'm a manicurist and a madwoman and I do a damn good job at both.

I was at the doctor so I could get a new referral to my hand surgeon. While I was waiting, I looked at my FitBit stats for the day. I looked at the ladder of my friends, and saw my dad languishing at the bottom. Which reminded me he’s not moving around because he’s having chemotherapy. So now I’m getting a full battery of tests because FitBit, I guess?

Now your mum will stop nagging me to nag you to get your junk checked.

We’ve been feverishly working away on a project for about a year now – a new podcast about being better designers. It’s not about pixels, pantones or plunger coffee – it’s about the ideas behind the hard work of design.

It’s called The Nudge, and I hope you’ll subscribe. It’s available on iTunes and everything.

Hop along to the sites and if you like what we’re doing, have a listen to Episode 0, a live interview with Elise Peyronnet of Melbourne Music Week.

This is so I remember it, because I will too.
