What's in a name?

The real reason behind the name? I'll tell you. First off I was born, ha, obvious I know. My Mum had an awful time of it really. Confused over what to name her only daughter (whom she'd suffered two long and painful boy-births for), she set about asking various family members for some ideas. Dad (aka Robert), surprisingly suggested Roberta - he's a modest fellow; Grandad suggested Constance (which needless to say did not go down well with Mum). To cut a long story short I was named Sophie, not sure why as there had been a plethora of other names in the hat before we finally arrived at this.

One name that got overlooked was 'Mazey'. A name that had survived the generations, and what I decided would succeed my 'Digital' title. Gran, alongside my Mum, are two of my greatest inspirations, so it seemed obvious my chosen name should derive from them both, being my Gran's maiden name and my Mum's middle name.

As for the digital part, well, my life and the world around me is digital and for those of you out there resisting it, well, all I can say is embrace it - it's the direction we're heading folks! Most of my unpaid day is spent searching and burrowing myself in the world of design, from design websites to the posters I see on the underground. Design, in short, is my life, and I love it, each and every wonderfully coloured pixel of it!
