About me

I drove people crazy aways asking ‘why?’ as a child. I still do. At least now design gives me a good reason.

What I do

My work includes design for:

visual identity and brand
digital
print ( smell that lovely ink … )
environmental graphic design
campaigns
direct mail
content

I am an advocate of user-first, accessible design.

I manage projects from start to finish, collaborate and strategise.

I code.

I mentor.

I help people with tricky requirements communicate clearly.

I find digging around a glyph palette far more entertaining than it should be.

A little more

Five things I enjoy:

Black coffee
Succulent plants
Plywood
Getting stuck into a good old typesetting session with a suitably good old soundtrack
Back to the Future I and III

Five things I don’t enjoy as much:

Double spaces
Unruly electrical cables
Unwelcome heights without a threshold
Ampersands in running text, &c
Back to the Future II

I believe in the power of the introvert.

I like to read / look.

If you’re feeling brave, I always welcome a conversation about why Cillit Bang’s ‘Barry Scott’ was a wonderful brand mascot. Be careful what you ask for.

See some of my work.
Say hello.
