Across the Pond - Designed by Neil Mitchell
Friends, family and colleagues on both sides of the Atlantic kept asking me the same practical questions. I soon realised the information existed—but it was scattered across different apps, websites and guidebooks. There wasn’t one trusted place that brought together the practical answers and explained why the differences exist. That’s the app I set out to build.
