Experiential graphic designer who designs the built environment through graphics, wayfinding, & information architecture. I talk about notes, software, automating my tools, neurodiversity, & TTRPGs (inevitably). Come talk nerdy with me! leahferguson.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/leahferguson.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/leahferguson.com/post/3m3zyjdj4cc2nAttending the #AutismCanada #autism conference today, and bemused that they turned off the chat because we were — checks notes — chatting and connecting. So if you were an Au-Some 2025 attendee and want to continue, hello! What are your biggest takeaways from today? #actuallyautistic25 Oct 2025 18:13 +0000at://did:plc:3comnncaia5vnf2ak43rhuro/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3zyjdj4cc2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/leahferguson.com/post/3lvaa6je7y22wThis week, I’m playing around with posts about #colour. Yesterday, I wrote about how I’m using a specific shade of green as a cue that it’s time to go workout. (Yes, it’s Apple’s Exercise ring green. Probably not a surprise… but hey, it’s been working for me!) https://ideawaypoints.substack.com/p/the-colour-of-habit-how-one-shade31 Jul 2025 03:49 +0000at://did:plc:3comnncaia5vnf2ak43rhuro/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvaa6je7y22whttps://bsky.app/profile/leahferguson.com/post/3luzl4anmdc2wPart of my work in #wayfinding is reducing cognitive overload by designing for consistency. If one sign says “x-ray” and another says “radiology,” people can get lost. (Literally.) I bring that same lens of clarity and continuity to my #pkm and #productivity systems. https://ideawaypoints.substack.com/p/from-00-to-99-the-numbered-system28 Jul 2025 12:16 +0000at://did:plc:3comnncaia5vnf2ak43rhuro/app.bsky.feed.post/3luzl4anmdc2whttps://bsky.app/profile/leahferguson.com/post/3lusddkkdac2gIt’s so easy for a good idea to get away if we don’t write it down somewhere. It’s also easy for that place we store ideas to become a junk drawer, making it hard to surface those ideas again. But there are ways we can help simplify our capture system – for #notes, #ideas, and #tasks. #pkm https://open.substack.com/pub/ideawaypoints/p/3-low-friction-capture-habits-that?r=cz5mb&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true25 Jul 2025 15:09 +0000at://did:plc:3comnncaia5vnf2ak43rhuro/app.bsky.feed.post/3lusddkkdac2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/leahferguson.com/post/3lupm4vt2vk2hI’m at the start of a 30-day self challenge to not only write more… but actually publish more. If you look at my social media lately, or my blog, you’ll have to look past the tumbleweeds. Frankly, I’m terrible at sharing what I write… I much prefer just connecting with people directly.24 Jul 2025 13:08 +0000at://did:plc:3comnncaia5vnf2ak43rhuro/app.bsky.feed.post/3lupm4vt2vk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/leahferguson.com/post/3lb44oiyq6k2dOne of the things I love about TTRPGs is the unpredictability. We thought it would be a 90 minute mini-campaign wrap up to take out the final BBEG. …and finished 5.5 hours later instead. Players made unpredictable (and great) choices, and the dice had a story to tell. Absolute fun. #ttrpg #dnd5e17 Nov 2024 00:12 +0000at://did:plc:3comnncaia5vnf2ak43rhuro/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb44oiyq6k2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/leahferguson.com/post/3lb3deyo4zk2f*taps mic* Is this thing on? Hi all. I'm Leah. I've been off social media for a while, but picking back up again here. I'm looking for some interesting accounts to follow, around #history, #ttrpg, #pkm (including #obsidian), and #wayfinding (among others). Any recommendations to get started?16 Nov 2024 16:40 +0000at://did:plc:3comnncaia5vnf2ak43rhuro/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb3deyo4zk2f
