About me:

 

I was born in 1972 and educated at Kingshott School and Hitchin Boys' School. I graduated from Cambridge School of Art in 1994 with a degree in Graphic Arts and Illustration and spent the early part of my career designing some of the UK's earliest commercial websites, as well as print projects for clients including The Royal Albert Hall and Virgin Publishing.

 

After five years developing my business as an independent designer, in 2000 I was invited back to Cambridge to teach as a visiting lecturer and have continued there since. I have also tutored young designers at the University of Bedfordshire, Milan's Accademia di Comunicazione and Ankara's Baskent University, as well as helping to develop D&AD's Student Awards briefs and serving on its jury. I was also a major contributor to the Thames and Hudson book 'Graphic Design School'.

 

In January 2012 I enrolled on the Applied Imagination masters degree at Central St. Martins, with a view to using text and image as a way of investigating more complex ideas of storytelling, mythology and religion. This work now forms the basis of my current practice; the work shown here consists of commercial graphic design made before 2013.
