My feature on the cultural delights of Edinburgh in August - published in The Weekend Australian today. Thinking about attending the Fringe, Tattoo, or International Book Festival in 2019? A great time to start planning!

#UAMCD the Deakin Genie AI chat bot is incredible. Deakin has aimed to create a digital assistant for students that acts like a helpful friend. The promo video showing how it prompts students to study & keep on task (& how it uses natural voice & calendaring) is mindblowing.

#UAMCD From a purely design perspective, the Deakin “Shield” cyber security logo is rather smart

#UAMCD is top 20 trending topic in Australia right now - let’s bump it up in these final sessions 👍

#UAMCD Top traffic sources for Uni Melb Pursuit - 51% (social), 17% (Google), 12% (Direct). Google traffic has grown significantly in last 12 months.

#UAMCD The design of Uni of Melb’s Pursuit magazine news website is stylish and distinctive. Love the template for their posts - less is more
