Ordered a Zombies, Run! Virtual Race medal as a little souvenir of my time working on it.

Producing the last few Virtual Races was a highlight of my time at Six to Start.

I got to explore the possibilities of ARGs and puzzles as marketing tools, and I even learnt how to make parallax animations!

Graphic with a crinkled orange paper background. At the top right it says "Fundraiser Ally pack!". At the top left is a black sticker with white illustrative font that says "Trans People Have always been Here". There is a pink arrow pointing to this sticker from a blue box that says "1 sticker (designed by @EllieType!) 2 50mm stickers and a badge" with a pink arrow to a sticker with a trans flag background and purple text that says "trans ally". In the bottom left is a pink box that says "Plus a leaflet about Scottish Trans' work and a letter with some top tips on using your voice as an ally!". There are graphics of gold star stickers across the image.

Graphic with a pink background. On the left is a Purple box that says 'trans people belong'. Below that is a blue box that says "Email your representatives now and stand up for trans rights!". On the right is a simple map of the uk, coloured in the trans flag colours. At the bottom are the Equality Network and Scottish Trans logos.

Allies! We need you!

Following the Supreme Court ruling, its vital that everyone stands together to support the trans community.

We've launched an ally section on our website, full of simple ways you can stand up for trans rights - right now! 🏳️‍⚧️✊💗https://buff.ly/NDrqbMk

Never normally watch BBC News, but caught a segment about the Spain/Portugal blackouts last night where they spent a full five minutes looking at how, in theory, renewable energy might have caused them; immediately followed by admitting that experts believed this was unlikely.

If you're feeling unsure about what to do or how to speak out against the current political situation, come along to our FREE webinar for International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) this year, at 1pm on the 15th May! 💗🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

So I didn’t feel a particularly strong emotional reaction to the major character death in #TheLastofUs s2 ep2.

Am I cold hearted or does the show completely lack emotional depth? Note: I didn’t play the games. Also: Of course I adore the actor.

Help us challenge the Supreme Court’s judgment on trans rights | Good Law Project

🏳️‍⚧️ NEW 🏳️‍⚧️

We believe the Supreme Court – which disgracefully refused to hear from trans people before its decision last week – has placed the UK in breach of its obligations under the Human Rights Act.

So we’re readying a challenge – join us:

Learnt twice as much about geography from this as I did at school.

Blue Prince review - pure architectural magic A brilliantly playful game about architecture and place. Find out why Blue Prince is a sheer delight in Eurogamer's review.

I realise this is incredibly niche gamer chat, but I just got to Room 46 in Blue Prince and I don’t think I’ve ever derived such overwhelming satisfaction from a game before.

It's a big day! 🎉 I'm relaunching my freelance videography website and seeking new clients.

To accompany it, I've created a new showreel that features some highlights from 10 years of video projects. I hope you enjoy my work!

This is just simple queerphobia. Utterly nasty. And to do this days after Jamie Greene, a gay MSP, left the party? Absolutely proving his point.

The absolute state of Scottish politics right now. Completely and utterly shameful. Physically sickens me.

Thank you Scott. That means a lot.

You’re too kind, Shelley. 🙏 Hope you’re doing well!

So what's next for me?

I'm not certain yet, but I do know the value of good contacts. So if any of this has sparked something in you, please drop me a DM and let's talk.

I'm excited for the next chapter. 🏃

Finally, I still work with clients in the third sector and beyond to create video content in my freelance role as a full-service videographer.

(That's a very slimmed down summary!) I have a ridiculously varied work history prior to StS, too...

I worked in communications for Scotland's biggest LGBTQ+ charity, devised marketing for Edinburgh's most treasured indie music venue, and I even worked as a campaigns manager for a politician.

🌎 I nurtured the devoted and active community.
🦸 I collaborated with the marvellous team at Marvel Entertainment.
🏁 I produced 4 thrilling Virtual Race events.
📺 I worked with influencers and production companies to showcase our product.
🎥 I shot and edited video content, events and interviews.

Great question, Adam. I wonder if anyone you know can help you answer that?

At Six to Start, I led on public-facing comms and marketing for Zombies, Run! and Marvel Move: immersive running experiences that are unlike anything else on the market.

After two life-changing years as Communications Manager at Six to Start, a restructure has catapulted me back into the jobs market.

I'm going to miss working with some of the most talented creative people in the business. So, what's next for me?

David Lynch’s work was my first foray into arthouse cinema as a teenager.

I remember the exhilaration of realising that, in fiction, sometimes you just can’t guess what’s coming next.

I’m joining the Traverse Theatre as an Associate Artist!

"Theatre has been the trailblazer for immersive experiences throughout history, from installation art to VR games and larping. I'm incredibly excited to work with the Traverse in exploring where theatre can lead us next…"

This is incredibly cool. Congrats, Adrian!

Meet the Rees-Moggs review – my obsession with Jacob’s wife runs deep There are surprisingly appealing domestic scenes as Jacob learns slang and poo jokes from his six children … but there’s no denying who the real star is here

Incredible, though not remotely surprising, to see a Guardian journalist fall hook, line and sinker for this blatant reputation laundering project for one of our most vile right wing politicians.

It was such a massive hurdle for me too.

Surprisingly though, I found myself increase gradually in confidence, as if I was on a real life hero’s journey.

By the time I reached the *infamously terrifying level* I was able to tackle it. Stick with it - it’s such a special adventure.

Testing out new merch suppliers! Organic cotton feels right to me…

Dived into Death Stranding now it’s on Xbox, and I’m utterly captivated.

I’m finding the cycle of extreme tension and cathartic calm very addictive. It’s just packed with the shock and delight elements that Kojima does best.

There's something I need people to understand.

The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.

The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

Seeing @adrianhon.bsky.social speak and catching up is always a pleasure. You’re going to want to read this man’s next book!

Aw I’m so glad! New skill in my toolkit!
