THE DAD BEHIND THE REWIND

A ’70s kid.
An ’80s upbringing.
A lifetime of change.

I’m Stuart. Dad, graphic designer and vintage 1973.

Retro Dad is a place to talk about the things that have changed in my lifetime. The music, the games, the everyday rituals — and all the things we never imagined we’d carry around in our pockets.

Not everything was better back then. But there’s plenty worth remembering.
