I’m a designer at ExtraMile and we’re currently involved in Learning At Work week - a week that offers opportunities for companies to engage its employees in ways to progress their knowledge. Ours runs over a week, but that’s because we have loads of great opportunities to learn more about all of our various departments.
Now, I’ve never really been much of a reader. I tend to get distracted easily and my imagination flies away from me (not always a bad thing!). I’ve always found it easier to digest information visually, but over the last couple of years, I’ve begun to understand the importance of reading, and writing as well...
It’s Monday morning after the SEO team here at ExtraMile attended one of the biggest SEO conferences in Europe, in one of the most beautiful and exciting cities in the UK – Brighton. 3,500 SEO-ers joined forces to share their knowledge, inspire each other and just generally ‘geek out’ over the latest digital trends and tips.
So the clocks went forward on Sunday and we’ve all lost an hour. One whole precious hour that could have been spent lazing in bed. But there is a positive that comes with this... Summer is here, and it's bringing longer days and some better weather (hopefully).

It’s International Women’s Day and we’re celebrating by giving a big shout out to some of our favourite female designers. Women have been smashing design boundaries for years – from 1971 when Carolyn Davidson designed one of the most recognised logos today, the Nike Swoosh, to Julie Zhuo who’s bossing it as Facebook’s Product Design VP.
I’m a bit of a fitness geek and in the past few years have become quite a keen runner, having ran several 10k’s and half marathons! Over the last few months I have also taken up swimming and cycling and have somehow managed to enter myself in an Olympic Tri and the Iron Man 70.3!
Let’s do something a little different for this blog! Trust me it links in with design, I promise. I’ve decided to merge two of my most favourite topics together, Design and Sport. I’ve decided to discuss an unusual topic compared to my previous posts to mix things up a little bit.

We will look back on 2016 as the year of fake news and post truth but with 2017 we have a clean slate. Let's make it the year of truth, I'm going to do my bit by destroying 5 myths that have plagued SEO for too long!
Let’s journey back to September 2015, where I first received an email from ‘Clark from Invision’ notifying me that Invision’s upcoming feature documentary ‘Design Disruptors’ was nearly ready. It took me a while to calm down from my excitement. After carefully following the progress for the months that followed, I finally received my invitation.
