A collection of snapshots of dusk from our balcony in Melbourne, Australia over a period of exactly one year (2011). Cheers to an awesomer new year everyone!

My first Six Taste review might come across as a plug for a client of ours but really, it’s not. I was acquainted with the Madame Flavour range of teas on the job and found myself enjoying this the most. And although I’m much more of a coffee drinker, nothing calms me down better than a good cup of carefully blended tea. Madame Flavour’s take on an old classic with her touch of lemon and lavender has got me hooked. This season she’s got my favourite blend in a lovely collector’s tin. But I’d hit the nearest Coles or Woolworth’s soon if you are based in Australia like me because this adorable tin range is only in a limited production run.

For more information on Madame Flavour’s tea, visit her site here.

Since after my appointment as Creative Director at Nourish Brands (Melbourne, Australia) this site which has once served as my portfolio for freelance work and job-seeking will now see itself more proactive in the ongoing conversation about my experiences, opinions, inspirations with all things creative. I plan to now include anything from food to book reviews. It all comes down to this really: that our work as creative professionals are only going to be as good as what gets put into our minds and hearts from everything and everyone outside the four walls of our desks and desktops. So I shall begin my first proper blogpost here with this thought-starting clip from Fast Company, about how the new creative manifesto should be. Join me now in watching this and say no to nepotism, cronyism and crowdsourcing.
