Finally pulled together a portfolio! Feels good to have some of my fave [Brand, Editorial, Event & Public] design projects from the last few years in one place – minus those under NDA 👀
Thankful for trusting clients & talented collaborators 💛

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
The most darkly funny aspect of this video is that Ivanka Trump speaks as if she went on some profound, prolonged spiritual and philosophical journey to ascertain the meaning of life, and concluded that the most elevated human state is to live on a gigantic private island in the Mediterranean, in a sprawling mansion paid for with the billions of dollars given to her husband by the Saudis and Emiratis to ensure favorable treatment by him and by her dad in their exercise of the powers of the American Presidency. Real uplifting stuff. 🙏
“The students who cannot read a 20-page article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill, or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow.”
Actually he embodies a very old model of Christian masculinity centered on education, self-control, and moderation, one that worked out much better for long term civilization than whatever TF we have going on right now 🤣
I get that it's our national pastime, and maybe all the positive folks left, but there sure seems to be LOTS of folks talking down and moaning about Brum on here... would love to see some of that energy diverted to actually doing good stuff for the city.
I feel very uncomfortable about the AI Security Institute, and this article by its creator, ex-PM Rishi Sunak, encapsulates why:
He frames it as a way of avoiding regulating AI.
He says this categorically. “If politicians are blithe about the risks [of AI], they will vote for those who favour regulation.” And he makes it clear he thinks regulation would be bad: “western governments shouldn’t restrict innovation in the race against China.”
This is a man who now works for both Anthropic and Microsoft (not disclosed in the article).
Evaluating the safety of AI models is good. But not in place of regulating the technology itself, and the companies behind it.
Besides, as he points out, companies only give the AI Security Institute access to their models voluntarily. This means the UK government relies on good relations with big tech, which in turn makes it even less likely to regulate.
It is far from clear how much the AI Security Institute has actually achieved with its astronomical public funding. What *is* clear, though, is that the people who set it up see it as a way of ensuring *less* regulation of AI companies, not more. This is very bad news.
