Two weeks ago I was sadly laid off from a job I took last year to help a friend do incredible physical design work.

Within a week I had two minor (yet surprising) contracts with new clients.

One in #design, one in #art.

I’m quite lucky.

If you need either, let’s get in touch. 💪

New work from me: South Oxford Flood Action Group (SOFLAG) is a community group, in partnership with local and national authorities, to provide clear information and data insights for flood preparedness and action at a local level, where wider information struggles with clarity to empower local communities.

Designed and built with @getkirby AI tools, Data APIs and Open Source libraries, and proving local hardware telemetry sensor data values and reliability.

I've posted on LinkedIn about my work for South Oxford Flood Action Group.

A small Case Study: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/simonclayson_case-study-flood-action-group-website-with-activity-7415332713353961472-4qQD?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAChl-0BP5W27POCB47aFM0mEzcNl6l8UR8

Case Study: Flood Action Group website with data insights | Simon Clayson

This is an insightful project and website that can have real impact and influence, with flooding predicted to be an increasing threat over the coming years. I’ve worked with South Oxford Flood Action Group (SOFLAG) on an end-to-end project that covered research and validation, through prototyping, design, and web development. SOFLAG is a community group, in partnership with local and national authorities, to provide clear information and data insights for flood preparedness and action at a local level, where wider area and national information cannot provide the detail needed to empower local communities. More than a collection of embedded dashboards like so many projects like this, a unified look adds trust and aids ease of use. This site is a demonstration of what can be done with Kirby CMS, AI tools, Data APIs, and Open Source libraries— in conjunction with proving local hardware telemetry sensor data values and reliability. On the roadmap: - Additional local sensors - Waterway overlays for the maps - Better cache setup The website is here: https://lnkd.in/e-cs6nDe with a full Case Study coming soon. If you think I can help your company or organisation - Get in touch! I specialise in big picture UX/UI B2B SaaS applications and complex Enterprise back-office software including Science, Healthcare, Logistics and Sport sectors.

Here’s my 22nd annual music roundup — bigger and more ridiculously obsessive than ever. https://colly.com/journal/twenty-twentyfive-in-music

2025 in music

Here’s my 22nd annual roundup: sixty short reviews across five categories, plus shows, stats and playlists. It gets more ridiculous every year, but I do it to myself, I do.
