- in 2015 I went to a tech meetup that Dropbox were holding in a Sydney laneway, and I learned about an Aussie startup called Canva. I introduced myself to founder Cliff, did some research over the next week, and decided to talk him into hiring me. Two months later I was working there. It may well have been the most significant meetup of the hundreds I’ve been to over the years!
- in 2009 the Sydney CBD experienced a major power outage. It was a turning point in my relationship with Twitter, as the locals were having a lot of fun positing that zombies were running amok in the city. I jumped in and never looked back. (Well, until the end of 2022.)
- in 2007 Kim and Kelley Deal came into the knitting shop where I worked, and I didn’t even recognise them at first! Thank goodness my crappy mobile phone had a camera on it.
- in 2003 I knitted a bikini. No, I never wore it. Knitted bikinis look flattering on approximately 0.2% of the population.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
