Getting objective, detailed feedback on your work can be one of the biggest hurdles to improving your craft as a creator. 🎨📸 That's why we built Artluni: a new AI-driven critique platform acting as an always-available digital tutor for artists and photographers. 🧵 1/5

The street is made of grey pavers, and a building with a window can be seen in the background. The photo is bright and well-lit, with a focus on the man and his activity.

We originally built the "Portal Pass" suite to make logging into our app ecosystem easier & reduce cognitive overload for our neurodivergent users. We just wanted a frictionless front door. 🚪 But we discovered something bigger... 🧵 1/3 #UX #ProductManagement #Innovation

Websites quietly tell the world how secure they are—weak settings, missing protections, email spoofing gaps. Most folks never see it until something goes wrong. So I built a free, safe tool that checks. Plain English, no jargon. Check your site here: tenkinstudios.co.uk/security-check

Post 1/3 The pre-interview panic is a feeling we know all too well. 😰 Staring blankly at a screen, desperately trying to remember the specifics of a project from two years ago. We realised this frantic, reactive scramble is the main driver of interview anxiety. 🧵👇

Software shouldn't cost the earth, and admin shouldn't drain your soul. We built CoachVault out of a genuine need for a secure, streamlined platform that doesn't come with a prohibitive price tag. If you’re a coach looking to take the mental load off your admin, take a look at the thread below. 👇

Rejecting the Startup Hustle at Tenkin Studios 🛑 In tech, launching a product is usually "crunch time"—cold coffee, 3 am monitors, and the badge of burnout. The industry says if you aren't exhausted, you aren't trying. Simon and I decided there's another way. 🧵 1/8

As we move closer to launching our first three apps, I’ve been reflecting on how well-being needs to be at the core of how we operate if we want to truly deliver that for our Portal Pass community. 🌿

Post 1/5 Co-founding BBC Enigma—the staff network for neurodivergent talent—is easily the most challenging and rewarding thing I’ve ever done. It started as a tiny group of ND staff wanting to explore what intersectional neurodivergence looks like in practice. Now? We’re 1,000+ members strong. 🧠✨

Post 1/3 We talk about 'productivity hacks,' but rarely about the 'sensory drag' that kills focus before the workday begins. I’m in Dundee this week for a workshop. Normally, I’d work at a cramped hotel room desk. Today, I found a reception area with soft lighting, comfy chairs, and quiet music.

A light on a wall in the reception I talk about in the posts. It casts a soft light. Underneath is a sign saying Jude, which was a global export from Dundee

1/7 After 4+ years delivering outreach at BBC Scotland, I still feel so lucky to travel the country teaching pupils how to make films and podcasts. Watching them go from scripting to presenting is a joy—and let’s be honest, it’s got to be better than maths! 🎥🎙️
