About me

Someone once said to me:
“You must be quite clever to do what you do?”

I replied:
“No, I just ask the questions that stupid people would ask.”

And that’s me, always wanting to to know why, what and how. It’s a pain to live with (so I’m told) but it’s also what makes me good at what I do.

So after seven years of asking why, what and how for other people (and the prospect of never seeing my family) now I’m doing it for myself, working directly with clients, and also collaborating with others to complement what they already offer their clients.

My aim is simple: to bring information design ‘north of the Watford Gap’, but my oyster card is always ready for the odd trip to the big smoke.
