This! To me, content design is a big bag of different skills, many of them pretty common sense - the interesting work is putting them to use in the right situations to end up with things that are simple for everyone.

My team's putting on a conference on 22 July to bring Design System people together. Check it out and sign up!

A content designer is basically a UX designer that specialises in the "shape of content". Lots of content designers are referred to as UX writers. This term only adds to the misconception that we JUST do words. Lizzie Bruce perfectly summarises this 👉 workingincontent.com/resources/comp…

Tech folks I know: does anyone know of examples of badly written technical documentation? Putting together a workshop exercise with a technical writer. How bad could this sort of content be?

Pleased to see so many great people joining up this morning, it's going to be a fun #DSDay21

Great #DSDay21 opener talk about design systems and patterns by Sarah Drummond at Snook. Always love it when the digital gets connected to the built environment that's always been around us.

Had a blast helping out on #DSDay21 and seeing everyone else enjoy it too! A highlight for me was helping Frankie Roberto build this chaotic pile of missing components and then attempt to order it.

We've collated all the workshop slides; boards from group activities; and notes from breakout sessions on #DesignSystemDay 2021: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… Happy reading! #DSDay21 #DesignSystem

If you've ever wanted to find more accessible ways to make parts of a form conditionally reveal, you're in luck! Enjoyed writing this slightly tricky topic with Charlotte Downs, Oliver Byford.

The casual but enlightening Friday cross-government #DesignSystem chats are always a great way to wind down the week, and I've learned tons of interesting stuff from everyone that pops in!

I was doubting my go-to first word, but it worked out this time. Wordle 210 3/6 ⬛🟨🟩⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Quite euphoric how content fully become a developed and recognised discipline with HAPPENINGS!

Been avoiding preview articles and YouTube videos of the #ElizabethLine like they're movie spoilers.

Expect more from my team, and perhaps some thoughts of my own too.

Working from the Midlands this week — enjoying the perks like getting to sit in a garden!

This morning was the original date for my 3rd driving test at Wanstead, but luckily I got a cancellation and passed 3 months ago. And this past week drove across the UK from London to Liverpool!

Gutted to miss Pride in London this year, though feels like it was very adorable and wholesome.
