Happy Halloween 🎃

Pattern published a feature earlier in the week based on conversation about AI that I had a few months ago with Arlen Pettitt and Christopher Owens. Today the creative duo published a version of the feature created by ChatGPT-4 and Midjourney. I'd encourage you to read the series.

Lim is a creative #visualisation agency that ignites imaginations in the workplace. Founder Ellie Chapman told us more about Lim & how we can explore our own #creativity to unlock #businesspotential. The interview: mtr.cool/ujqjzwwtyd 📸 Christopher Owens ✍️ @janeimrie_

New work for Pattern with Kim McGuinness

Glad Kim McGuinness said yes! #AskHerToStand

Kim McGuinness is going to make an excellent The Labour Party Mayor. I can’t wait to start working with her to deliver not just for our regions but for women across the North! Want to see a better future? Vote Labour 2nd May 🌹

I never in a million years thought I’d ever stand for election. But here I am and it’s the best decision I ever made. Like many women in politics I had to be encouraged. (Thank you @CatMcKinnell). If you know a woman who should be out there doing it- #AskHerToStand.

I went to something different today; slow networking. Not being a fan of conventional networking (long story), this felt fresh and something I can cope with. Well done Christopher Owens and the Pattern team. Great to listen to Kim McGuinness and catch up with some lovely people.

Sat down with Pattern's Arlen Pettitt & Christopher Owens recently for an in-depth chat about my background, heritage, the songwriting process and the role of a writer. Big thanks to the both of them for asking me along! Read the full thing here: apatternof.com/features/aaron…

I’m honoured that the people of the North East have put their trust in me to be their first North East Mayor. Today we finally begin taking power from Westminster and handing it to the people. Thank you for electing me to be your The Labour Party mayor. I can’t wait to get started.

I did a thing with Christopher Owens. It was a good laugh. Loads of shots in the article, which is worth a read even if I do say so myself. But I particularly enjoyed capturing this one of the master in action. apatternof.com/studio-series/…

@PlatformNE + Pattern This morning I had the opportunity to connect with fellow professionals, discussing past highlights & exploring potential collaborations through Education Partnership North East Training Special thanks to Kim McGuinness for her time and sharing her inspirational year 🌟
