Hello, I'm Kevin Mears.

I’ve had a varied career in design, development and information management for over 25 years.

Many years ago featured in the seminal Zen of CSS Design book, I also wrote a little book of my own on Sketchnoting

This is a place to post thoughts and play around in the grand tradition of the early days of the web. I occasionally blog. I especially like to draw sketchnotes, and you can find lots of those on this site. I had fun collecting and reviewing UK university logos, which you can find in the imaginatively titled unilogos section. I try to log what films and books I’ve consumed, so I know where all the time goes. My Weeknotes are sporadic - but aren’t everyone’s?

Find me on Bluesky where I usually repost very occasional things from nice people. Letterboxd, where I log films and have fun making funny little lists. Instagram for the occasional drawing and to follow friends, and finally LinkedIn - the frankly strange but sort of necessary place. We don’t talk about the other place any more.
