Northern Lights Design Studio.
No, this isn’t some amazing new studio nor is it my recently formed studio. It is a name I came up for while on the way home from London for my studio I am planning on setting up when I’m older :)
This post is all about my setup and what I’m designing on. I have been meaning to write this for a while and it gives a break to all those who need it from the usual tech demos that have plagued this blog for a while :). Don’t worry, they will still be here.
Hardware.

So there you go, that is my setup complete with Christmas decorations, and now for the specs. *digs out manual* . What do you reckon, look like all the other professional design agencies? ;-)
