What is dis?
No idea where I’ve landed, but I just wanted to throw myself into something new.
Hi! I’m Linda and I’m very new here (literally max 5 min).
I’ve been a graphic designer for over 10 years and I still love what I do 🙂 most of the time...
I live in Somerset, UK, but I’m originally from Latvia. If you know where Latvia is - respect.
Anyway… just wanted to say hi and connect with fellow designers, so feel free to let yourself be known!
hey @Linda Bucksey welcome in!!
Thank you! <3

I will use this as a client.
Random design thought 💭: ornamental metal gates are basically analog pixels.
I’ve been noticing ornamental metal gates and the patterns in them. The repetition and structure started to feel really similar to how we design digitally - grids, modules, pixels.
So for this project I translated traditional metal gate motifs into cross-stitch-style patterns. Basically taking something forged and ornamental and rebuilding it inside a grid.
The final piece is a one-page yearly calendar (with a few color variations), where both the patterns and the type are use cross-stitch forms.
Just a small exploration of how repetition, craft, and constraints show up across mediums - from metalwork to digital design.
What other analog systems feel like “pixels” to you?
this is so fun!!
