U5: Portfolio of experimentation – reflections on failure
by
in Unit 5I have been reflecting on ideas of failure in relation to my portfolio of experimentation. I spent a lot of last week in a deep state of failure. I was struggling to get to grips with what exactly my experiments had been about, and was worried that it had all been for nothing. During this…

U5: A portfolio of experimentation in writing – starting point

U3 submission
by
in Unit 3Here is my Unit 3 submission, which is a curated conversation around the central concern of decisions. It’s been such an interesting term and I’ll blog more about my reflections and learnings after a little time has passed.

U3: First draft of submission and reflections
by
in Unit 3Following on from my idea to build an archive of decisions, for my U3 I’ve chosen to curate a single conversation about a decision. I wanted this to be a conversation, rather than an interview, and so I decided to conduct it with someone who has made a similar decision to me: the decision to…
