The Practice
My practice moves between visual communication, digital experiences, objects and cultural storytelling.
After more than three decades working with image, typography, identity, motion and digital media, I am increasingly interested in what happens beyond the screen — where technology meets material, where culture becomes experience, and where design becomes a way of thinking.

Visual Communication
Identity, typography, art direction, editorial and image-making.

Ideas

IN DEVELOPMENT
Reclaim: Playable Cities
Can a city be played rather than visited?
Turning neighbourhoods into readable, walkable narrative systems.
RESEARCH
Digital Mythologies
When a machine retells a myth, what does the error tell us?
Generative research into distortion as a form of cultural memory.
EXPERIMENT
Physical × Digital Objects
Can an object remember its own making?
Ceramic pieces bound to a living digital record of provenance and process.
RESEARCH
AI and Cultural Memory
Who decides what a model remembers?
An essay-in-progress on training data as heritage policy.
CONCEPT
Ancient Knowledge / Emerging Technology
What did we already know before we had the tools?
Pairing pre-industrial making logic with contemporary fabrication.
