About
I like rules. Not because they're strict, but because good rules let other people make good things without me in the room.
Most of my work is identity and wayfinding: systems of type, colour and layout that hold up in the real world. I spend a lot of time watching people get lost.
I cycle, collect transit maps, and have a modest obsession with old signage.
