writing honestly and accurately about a thing that matters to you is a crucial thing that we must all drive forward in spite of *gestures* everything. we need longer, clearer and more personally-voiced writing to help regain the mindshare we've lost. if you've ever had the impulse, please do it

love too see folks respond well to @likethecolour.red (a good friend and frequent co-conspirator of mine) latest heater on the terminal.ahumanfuture.co blog; heartening to be so soulfully reminded that excellent prose and passionate appeals still win the hearts & minds of Men every time

Looks like I'll be coming to the end of a contract shortly so will have availability for new projects from later this month

Give me a shout if you're on the lookout for frontend dev or design systems work and particularly if you're looking for animations, interactions or anything a bit experimental

What I do - Robb Owen

From interaction design to scaleable design systems, single-page apps to something more experimental with WebGL. I help awesome people to build ambitious yet accessible web projects
