About

I am a book designer and typographer. Working mostly with visual artists, curators and musicians I investigates through form, materials and typography how the vehicle of the book can animate and amplify the content it contains.

I am an Professor at Massey University’s College of Creative Arts where I teach and supervise students interested in editorial design, typography, visual communication and the future of the book.

I am the Director of Toi Aria: Design for Public Good, a research cluster harnessing design for positive social change. Prior to joining Massey, I ran my own design business with a specialisation in book design.
