Morning ➛

The brash iPhone alarm goes off at 7.30am to which I hit snooze until 7:45am comes along. This also gets cancelled in preparation for the 8:00am. I get up and jump in the shower (for far too long). I rush out with my bag and only a banana in hand. It’s about a 12-minute walk to the nearest station and there are 2 of them, so it’s usually a random choice. I arrive at work at 9:01am…the last one to arrive, again. First up, I check all my emails and, of course, Facebook and Twitter. Water the plants, as we even killed an Air-Plant, which I’ve heard is impossible. I make sure there is some decent music playing. 10am on the dot I meet a friend (every day) down at our local coffee haute. The single origin of the day is a Guatemalan…and it’s seriously good. By mid morning I’ve settled into progressing a few projects along, one of which is a terrific project for MTV.

Noon ➛

1:00pm comes around and I’m off down the road to join the 30m-long queue for Melbourne’s best sushi. I get a takeaway pack that includes some raw fish and a lot of ginger and wasabi. We all sit down with our respective lunches and eat together. After lunch I delve into some hand painted typography on acetate screens. We have a camera set up nearby to take regular shots that upload to the computer for digital manipulation. I dabble in a few other projects that we currently have on, making sure nothing is left behind.

Night ➛

At 5:20pm I set off by foot to a monthly AGDA (Australian Graphic Design Association) meeting, in which I am a council member. We discuss all things design that will benefit Australian design locally and internationally. The meeting goes for an hour and a half, and I then jump on the tram to go home. As soon as I arrive home I put on my running shoes, grab my iPod, and go for a 5km run, which always relaxes me after a big day. Given the time it already is, the best thing to cook is a quick thai basil stir fry. After dinner is finished I always try to catch up on one of the terrific TV shows that are currently in circulation. This time it is Mad Men. I usually don’t get to sleep until about 12:00am or after…ready to hit the snooze button in another 7 hours.
