Universalism is becoming harder and harder - Rachel Coldicutt #SDinGov

An insightful talk by Natasha and Nicolás. It truly captured how the role and intent of design in organisations has evolved over time. #SDinGov

Had an incredible time at this year's #SDinGov!  Highlights include thought-provoking talks on inclusive service design, digital transformation, & making public services accessible for all.  Special shoutouts to sessions on human-centred design & the future of AI in government.

Today, I made it official. Registered the business. Took the leap. Opened the door to the next chapter. It's real. It's mine. And this is only the beginning.

No emails. No scroll. Just music, and nature. Here’s to slowing down. 🥂 #roadtrip #digitaldetox #cheddargorge #servicedesigner #entrepreneuralmindset #veilworx

Touchdown: peace & quiet. Goal: reset and get clarity on next moves.

It’s always a nice feeling when reality starts matching the vision. #veilworx #entrepreneuralmindset #servicedesigner #businessregistration #goalsettingtips #usercentreddesign #professionalgrowth

Quickly realising that registering a business is just step 1. The real work starts after. There are so many important tasks that come after like setting up systems, taxes, contracts, and more. Sharing my list for anyone who’s on this journey too, hope it helps!

So much to do, so little time 😮‍💨 #servicedesigner #professionalgrowth #veilworx #strategicplanning

So many people underestimate how hard it is to come up with a business name that’s not just great but also actually available. It’s a creative puzzle and a legal minefield. If you’ve got a name idea and want a second opinion (or you’re stuck in naming limbo), I’m happy to help.

After countless sketches, tweaks, and second guesses… the logo is finally here. #veilworx #servicedesign #uxdesign #graphicdesign #businessowner #branddesign

Take the pause. It’s productive too. #veilworx #professionalgrowth #servicedesign #englishbreakfast #coffeeplace

Who knew bee hunting could be this thrilling? #beehunting #flowerfestival #manchesterflowerfestival #beehunt #selfridges #Arndale

Feeling stuck or burnt out from staring at screens all day? A flower festival might be the mental reset you didn’t know you needed. #flowerfestival #manchesterflowerfestival #beehunt #selfridges #Arndale #ramen #veilworx

Official business email is now setup, another step toward building a professional, trustworthy presence. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference when it comes to credibility and brand identity. #veilworx #businessemailsolution #hostinger #servicedesigner

Choosing colours for my website was so fun. ⁣ Remember, no matter how gorgeous a palette looks, if it’s not readable or inclusive, it’s not doing its job. ⁣ Contrast is key! ⁣ #WebDesign #AccessibleDesign #ColorPalette #InclusiveDesign #BrandAesthetic #WebsiteLaunch

Excited for #SDinGov
