It was a pleasure to work on a mini-doc with ITP Support Association, Mervyn Morgan and Professor Nichola Cooper at her research lab at Imperial College London Hammersmith Hospitals N H S Trust, London.

We discussed the ITP research that is currently underway, with more clips & the full episode to come.

Ever found yourself staring at a colour wheel until all the blues start looking the same? 🟦🌀

I often talk to business owners who keep changing their DIY website colours because "nothing feels quite right." Usually, the problem isn't the colour itself; it's a lack of contrast, consistency, or emotional alignment with their brand values.

In this "Dear Iris," we’re tackling Palette Paralysis.

Your website should feel like a digital home for your business. If you’re still trying to find the right keys, I’m here to help you unlock a look that works.

"Is this you in this video?" 📱🛑

We’ve all seen it. You get a duplicate friend request or a weird message from a close friend and think, have they been hacked?

The good news? Most of the time, it’s just a "Clone" - a lazy scammer copying a profile picture to trick people. But occasionally, it’s a real "Hack," and knowing the difference is key to staying safe.

I’ve broken down:
✅ Why "Clones" are easier to fix than you think.
✅ The "Auntie June" rule for spotting scam links.
✅ The one setting you can change today to make your profile more invisible to scammers.

Does the word "SEO" make your head spin? You aren't alone! 😵‍💫

I get asked about this constantly, so I wanted to share my first "Dear Iris" letter.

I’m answering your questions to help take the mystery out of being online. If you've ever felt "Lost in the Search Bar," this one is for you.

Have a question about your own website, or need a bit more info? I’m always happy to have a chat and help you find your way! ☕💻

Before you scan that QR code... do you know where it’s actually taking you? 🛑📱

"Quishing" (QR Phishing) is once again on the rise.

We’ve become so accustomed to scanning QR codes for menus, parking, and payments that we’ve stopped questioning where they lead. Scammers are sticking fake QR codes over real ones on parking machines and public posters to hijack your data.

I’ve put together a quick guide to help you stay safe:

🚩 Check for stickers: If it’s peeled at the edges, leave it alone.
🔗 The 1-Second Preview: Always look at the URL pop-up before you click.
⌨️ When in doubt: Type it out!

Look what landed! 📬

Dad said "delivering these won't result in much," and Mum joked it's "junk mail on the doormat" (thanks, guys! 😂 - they are very supportive, promise!). But... I’ve already had my first direct enquiry from a neighbour I’ve never met! 📈

My new Iris Web Media flyers are hitting doormats this week, hitching a ride with the Stotfold News Magazine, Arlesey News and The Meppershall Messenger.

Being in The Meppershall Messenger is a total full-circle moment for me. From age 7–14, I wrote "The Lucy Pages" for the village. Now, I’m back in its pages sharing tech tips to help our local community stay safe online.

It’s a great reminder that while I work in digital, personal connection and local awareness are still the ultimate "algorithm."

Huge thanks to the magazine teams for the distribution, and to the SWEF Enterprise Fund, managed by Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation. This grant allowed me to print these assets and get my message out there.

Channelling my inner Postman Pat today. 📬

Iris Web Media flyers officially delivered to 2 local magazines for a local leaflet drop.

A huge thank you to the SWEF Enterprise Fund, managed by Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation - I was able to get these flyers printed as part of the assets covered by their grant.

Genuinely brilliant support for small businesses and it means a lot.

So if you're local to the Meppershall/Stotfold area and a little Iris Web Media flyer drops through your letterbox - hi, that's me.🌸

Press day! 💻📰

It’s been a busy time getting the official press release ready for my latest client, Mount Pleasant View.

After a fantastic opening week, we’re now sharing their story with local news outlets and regional radio to make sure this "hidden gem" gets the reach it deserves.

A former golf club has reopened as a restaurant following a six-figure refurbishment.
