I’m on a mission to ‘level up my PM skills’. The first step is to find out more about current thinking and approaches towards product, which is why I made my way through the product-led fundamentals course by ProductLed. My experience of the course. It’s an interesting mini-course that does what it says (on the […]
Like many others, I was enamoured with the offering of a “One Dollar DIY Amazon Fuzz” after watching the video, and then ordering the components through the affiliate links. I made the ‘pedal’ and although I haven’t been able to troubleshoot the ’60hz hum’ and low output volume in the two I made, they actually […]
In the ACMI collection there’s a video installation that spotlights a number of Australians film-industry professionals reflecting on their practice. The Tony Ayres spotlight resonated most with me, particularly the matter of fact, self-awareness of his craft and his reflection on the critical skill of communicating concepts and idea to an audience, and its capacity […]
Started making my way through “Make something wonderful” and it’s resonating with me, especially the bits about working as a team, value of work, production, being human and doing stuff that’s meaningful to you – discovering some great stuff as I go!
Found these cards at the bookshop – I was hoping they had a legit framework for decision making, but turns out they’re only great looking graphic design with semi-motivational quotes and pithy statements. Still cool, but not what expected or wanted.

When it all goes well and everyone is in-sync and on-time and the project team are tight, it can be an intensive collective experience. When it’s not, it can be a bureaucratic hassle.
Making a start on the customer journey map for the 2023 Teach HQ, Be inspired and the MEA (teaching and learning festival) experience – it’s a first take and will probably require some ‘zooming-in’ with details and most likely a service blueprint, and some iteration. That’s cool because that’s what it’s all about – working […]
It makes sense that there’s a process for event design, just like all of the other user-centric processes such as learning design, education design, user experience design, service design, and more. Fascinating stuff.
I’m at the tail end of my Masters of Professional Practice (Digital Learning), whereby I now only have to successfully complete 10 credentials. I’ve submitted the first batch of five to be assessed and have recently been advised that “the credential assessors have determined that you have satisfied the criteria for your Critical Thinking credential”, […]

Over ten years after my first DISC assessment in another organisation, I’ve now been asked to revisit the assessment and respond to a number of questions that quantify me (as a profile). ‘Spare me, Burke. I’ve had my psych evaluation this month.’Ellen Ripley Then (circa 2011) Now (2022)
My friend is investigating learning design, more specifically “Learning design systems to support the design and production of online learning experiences at scale”, which is exciting stuff. They’ve asked me to share my responses to a few questions. How would you explain the practice of learning design to a layperson? I would explain the practice […]
Retrofitting the components, wireframes, designs and prototype of the ‘Design Thinking Now’ online course with Figma, for fun, skill-building, experimentation and exploration, and more.
Having fun and learning something new by fiddlin’ with Figma and making my way through their beginner tutorials (Explore ideas, Create designs, Build prototypes) about creating a social media app, for pets – petma. I’m really digging Figma – it’s a great little tool that’s been intentionally designed for collaboration and teamwork, which is fantastic.
