I started a new job this week. Yes, an actual job. I'm the new Design Director at Wieden & Kennedy London. So far this century I haven't been the PAYE type but heading up a brilliant team of exciting print and interactive designers at an incredible agency is too good an opportunity to miss.
Whilst I'm very familiar with w+k and the people there, there is still a lot to take in, a lot to think about and a lot to do.
I'll be blogging about some of that over here. As well as the usual stuff about benches and the 2012 logo.
Exciting.
Don't you mean decade, not century?

Depends whether you think the century ended in 1999 or 2000.

All the best in the new role, Ben. Hope it works out brilliantly.

Congrats on your new role! Best of luck.
And hopefully next time I'm in London you can give me a studio tour.
