Hi there! I’m Dean, a designer from Newcastle, England, who lives in Tokyo after spending over a decade working at various startups in Europe.

I like writing to organise my thoughts on everything, from finding my way in a new city to my love of design. That's why I started Half Thoughts: to share my experiences and learn from what others have to say.

When I'm not writing, designing or making something, you'll find me reading manga or exploring Japan with my camera while claiming it's to polish my Japanese.
