My name’s Robin and I’m a web designer from the UK. Around these parts I write about my adventures in typography, reading and web design whilst elsewhere I’ve been fortunate enough to write for publications such as Smashing Magazine, CSS Tricks and Typographica.
Bio + history
Originally I’m from Devon where I grew up on a big patch of land in the middle of nowhere. As lonely kids are often captivated by stories, I was mesmerised by the tales in books and the narratives I soaked up through television. The methods that reproduced them were fascinating, too. Reading, writing, designing, programming, all of these activities seemed to be inseparable from one another. As a result I feel uncomfortable today describing what I do on a daily basis; calling myself a web designer, developer, or a writer just sounds icky to me.
