Notes from the field
Fieldnotes #11
We reset the Wainwright count when we got together. 214 fells, no deadline, no metric that matters to anyone else. It feels like a breath of fresh air.
Fieldnotes #10
I know more clearly than ever what environments I work best in. Saying so feels riskier than it should.
Fieldnotes #09
I've been reflecting on how often tooling choices are really trust decisions — in ourselves, our teammates, and the future.
Fieldnotes #08
I've started paying more attention to moments of friction — not just in interfaces, but in my own routines. Those moments are instructive.
Fieldnotes #07
This month I've been thinking a lot about pace — not speed, but rhythm. There's a difference between moving fast and moving constantly.
Fieldnotes #06
A quiet week of documentation, a few accessibility audits, and finally getting that component refactor over the line.
Fieldnotes #05
Design system governance discussions, a great a11yMCR meetup, and too much coffee.
Fieldnotes #04
Mentoring sessions, some React performance detective work, and a surprisingly productive Friday.
Fieldnotes #03
A few months into the job hunt: ghosting, boilerplate rejections, a live coding session that nearly finished me, and Duolingo being more encouraging than most hiring managers.
Fieldnotes #02

Fieldnotes #01
Relaunching the site on Astro, watching Andor, and spotting my home town of Cleveleys in a galaxy far, far away.
