Claim your profileThese things are supposed to start with a cliche, right? So here goes. DIY by name, DIY by nature. The name of the publication I was part of the founding team on back in 2002 may have incidentally become those three letters, but in the years since it has become an MO: any useful skill I have now has been learned as a consequence of 'getting things done'. That's various levels of content production - from interviewing and writing myself, copy and sub-editing of others' work, photographing, video filming and editing, recruiting and working with freelancers, working with industry contacts and brainstorming ideas for all of this. That's social media management - cultivating and investing in DIY's brand online, whether driving traffic, talking to readers, interacting with bands or sharing information across our online presence. That's web design and build - any incarnations of DIY's website between approx 2007 and 2014 were built by me, as well as various other music-related projects' online presence.
