Design Network North

Sad to be leaving Lodz. I’ve had a great time at the @lodzdesignfest , they made me feel so welcome. And I’ll say it again, if you work in design, or even if you don’t you should come next year. And I might see you there

Alive and well here in Poland Graham @soult

It’s a beautiful day here in Lodz at the @lodzdesignfest . Just having 5 minutes before my first workshop

We'd planned to be in Huddersfield at the @3MBIC for Rise and Design , but not enough people could make it, so it's back to the good old virtual event style. At least it's by choice this time

I’m at the @3MBIC delivering a Lego Serious Play workshop, as part of the @WestYorkshireCA Supply Chain Programme. And my @lodzdesignfest bag is perfect for transporting those bricks

The Getty !. You must go to the @GettyMuseum

Someone's done a Google Streetview of the ascent up El Capitan in Yosemite, so you can climb alongside him. @sammy_hardesty
