It's been an interesting week for women in positions of power. Firstly, Silvio Berlusconi angered his European neighbours (and a few others besides), by claiming that the Spanish Cabinet was "too pink", suggesting that the number of women would make it difficult to lead.

On the other side of the pond, Hillary Clinton declared 'the tide is turning', after winning the Pennsylvania primary on Tuesday. This announcement was brought to me via a news item on a commercial radio station, which chirperly announced, "The sound of high heels could soon be heard around the Oval Office."

OK, so I wasn't expecting in-depth political analysis from this particular broadcaster, but these images of woman appear so out-dated and superficial, and beg the question: how far have we really moved on in the past 100 years?

So, for my first post I thought I'd keep things short and sweet and tell you a little bit about who I am and what I do.

At the moment (and indeed for the foreseeable future!) I'm Creative Director and co-owner of 383 Project,a Birmingham-based design agency.

I've worked as a freelance designer and art director independently and for other agencies for around 4 years, growing my interest in online media and generally getting stuck in to the development of as many interesting projects and ideas as I can.

I helped co-found 383 Project early in 2006 and since then have helped to develop new accounts and clients across a range of industry sectors. Shortly after starting 383, we were named in Channel 4's Creative Class 06/07 and this year won 'Most Promising New Business' in the 2007 Creative City Awards.
