Designer, creator & lover of side projects.


People never forget
how you made them feel.

This quote is probably wrongly attributed to Maya Angelou, but it works for this purpose.

I create experiences that people remember because they’re so wonderful.


There comes a time in every woman’s life when they have too many projects on the go and need an online hub to keep track of them all.

This is that time for me.

So, hi. I’m Aisling (it’s said like “Ashleen” and I use the pronouns she/her). I’m a Canadian gal who has lived on the South Coast of England for a decade.

I spend most of my time working as a Senior Interaction Designer on public sector digital products. As an autistic woman, I have a particular interest in neurodiversity and accessibility.

The rest of my time is spent working on an array of side projects with varying degrees of success and enthusiasm. “When in doubt, start another side project,” I always say. Then I spend some time being burnt out and wondering why I added another thing to my plate.

Yes, I also believe in being transparent about mental health issues!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy perusing my current special interests. Please connect with me on social media if you feel so inclined!

Small Business Speakeasy. I really hope this one makes a comeback one day because the logo was beautiful.
