hello

I'm a London-based writer, designer and author. I've written for over 30 publications including Wired and The Guardian. My copywriting has won awards.

Last year I did a spoof of the web in handy book form. My new book The Visual Miscellaneum, visualises ideas, subjects and data with the minimum of word. Check out the website InformationIsBeautiful.net for a taste.
