About

I'm Rob Cawston. This is an open space to organise thoughts, share interesting things and get into a routine of writing weeknotes.

8-bit me.

My work

I've worked at the intersection of arts, culture and digital for over two decades. Previous roles have included openDemocracy, BAFTA, the Royal Institution, National Museums Scotland and Research Data Scotland.

My current job is Director of Digital & Service Transformation at the National Library of Scotland.

I like good things, made well. Also, cats.
