Growing Up and Moving Out

Growing Up and Moving Out (My blog or - for the younger generation - my blawg) is a collaboration of my thoughts on a few matters in life, business and whatever else strikes my fancy.

A lot of it may be about Red Giant Design Studio:

Red Giant Design Studio is my pride any joy. In partnership with a good friend since our schooling days, we have come a long way and learned a huge amount about designing websites and creating brands, growing a business and generally learning new things in life day in and day out.
Having recently reinvented our business as Red Giant Design Studio, we are hoping to incorporate all that we have learned about marketing and growing a business from the ground up in order to make our good business a great one. This blog will document our experiences and will hopefully be of interest to those of you who share similar passions.

With Growing Up and Moving out, there will be no rigorous posting schedule that I adhere to, nor will posts be of any particular length. Writing is one of my passions and I will try my best to write some decent content whenever the inspiration strikes. That said, it is a "chilled" blog purely for enjoyment purposes.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I'll enjoy writing it.
