@benunsworth Call me old fashioned but I reckon you could run an election campaign without setting foot on a paddle board

Wonderful to see @TPXimpact Design team co-hosting a hack day around greener service principles with our friends at @DefraGovUK as part of #servicesweek

Frequently impressed by the ideas, dedication and collaboration going on in all corners of the team 😍

[Stef_W @Stef_W]

People now pitching ideas for making @DefraGovUK’s e-waste service greener and using the Principles for Greener Services for doing so

Can confirm the queen of design spreadsheets had TWENTY FOUR spreadsheet tabs open when we were planning last week.

(Yes I appreciate the irony of me tab shaming)

[Alexandra D-S (she/her) @iotwatch]

Some late night thoughts about designers and spreadsheets.

Three of our designers are sharing the ways they approach designing in health and care, aware of the unique context of the health system and the varied needs of people working in, and receiving, care.

Good day to dig out the photo of me giving princess Anne some real sass

[Vicky Brown @vebrown]

@noursidawi @sarahlegrand @carla_groom You’d be right!

[Vicky Brown @vebrown]

@wrightmartin @gilliancmacd Don’t know what gave you that idea

[Vicky Brown @vebrown]

@wrightmartin @gilliancmacd Yeah you’ve literally got those in reverse order Martin

@daybydayv @sojtucker As opposed to a tech supplier coming in and saying what do you mean user research / show and tells / assistive technologies etc. Summarises a lot of expectations (but yeah would expect evidence)

[Vicky Brown @vebrown]

@daybydayv @sojtucker But I was coming to say yes.. it tends to get used as the shorthand for ‘are you going to work in the sort of way we expect and will you have these kinds of standards’

[Vicky Brown @vebrown]

@sojtucker @daybydayv Okay just trust that for me right now it’s a LOVELY revelation 😂

[Vicky Brown @vebrown]

@sojtucker @daybydayv Ohhh did you! Before I knew who Dave was?!

[Vicky Brown @vebrown]

@sojtucker @daybydayv Wait do you guys real life know each other?

[Vicky Brown @vebrown]

@B_Littlefair Hahahah I can’t believe there are 45 of these. Guys have you just tried having some positive emotions

[Vicky Brown @vebrown]

Love to come home late on a Sunday to find alarms blaring from the building site next door and no way to contact them. Happy restful night’s sleep to me

[Vicky Brown @vebrown]

Sitting next to a recruiter saying 'The next conversation is with the CEO.. who is a *lady*, I must say' is really not improving my mood
