Build Conference

What a day.  This is all I can say. Inspired, invigorated & thoroughly enjoyed are some of the words that come to mind.

However then came the icon line of the talk.

‘We should care for our websites, continue to evolve them and challenge boundaries.’  This struck a cord, sometimes I can get stuck in a rut, I need to rediscover the passion that I once had and push my own boundaries both design and life.

Thanks Airside (even though I didnt get a free calender) #badtimes
