# Writing: Erskine Design

From my years at Erskine, a studio in Nottingham, England, where I learned what a team that cares about quality can do.

- [Questioning the quality of our work](https://garrettwinder.com/erskinedesign/questioning-quality-our-work.md) (2013-11-20): We took a break from client work last week to hold our second Erskine Breakfast event in our Nottingham office. It was a packed house and the topic of discussion was the creative process.
- [EECI EU 2012 - Illegally good front-end](https://garrettwinder.com/erskinedesign/illegally-good-frontend-eeciconf2012-eu.md) (2012-06-08): The EECI EU 2012 conference is Europe’s largest gathering of ExpressionEngine aficionados, drawing delegates from a wide range of countries and with a great line up of top level speakers.
- [Calculating EMs with SCSS](https://garrettwinder.com/erskinedesign/calculating-ems-with-scss.md) (2012-05-08): Earlier this year Erskine made the switch to SCSS and I’ve really loved what its done to our front-end workflow. One thing I’m particularly fond of is how SCSS has improved how we’re calculating EMs.
- [Typographic styling with SCSS](https://garrettwinder.com/erskinedesign/typographic-styling-scss.md) (2012-03-03): Friday, right after Erskine’s end-of-week pub rituals, Phil and I went back to the office with hopes of building a website.
- [Going mobile with ExpressionEngine](https://garrettwinder.com/erskinedesign/going-mobile-with-expressionengine.md) (2012-01-06): In the last few years mobile has absolutely exploded. It’s the way people shop, browse the web and check email and the numbers are increasing exponentially.
- [Planning and documenting front-end components](https://garrettwinder.com/erskinedesign/planning-and-documenting-front-end-components.md) (2011-09-09): At Erskine it’s more than just accepted, but it’s encouraged to question the way things are done. If something isn’t working, figure out another way and test it out with the team.
- [EEUK 2011 - Going mobile](https://garrettwinder.com/erskinedesign/eeuk11.md) (2011-08-27): I’ve condensed them down quite a bit so if you’d like the originals, shoot me an email.
- [Personal task management with Things.app](https://garrettwinder.com/erskinedesign/personal-task-management-with-Things.app.md) (2011-08-04): Here at Erskine we use all the usual suspects to keep the day in order: The 37signals Suite (mostly Basecamp and Campfire), Beanstalk, Harvest, Redmine, the list goes on.
- [Taking our work to the extreme](https://garrettwinder.com/erskinedesign/taking-our-work-to-the-extreme.md) (2011-02-13): 95% of my everyday involves implementing and working w/ front-end languages like HTML/CSS and integrating them w/ the ExpressionEngine content management system.
