I am a former print- and web-based graphic designer who now teaches and writes on issues related to popular culture, the media, graphic design and higher education.
Part of the first generation of graphic designers who gave up cow gum for Macs (at least for, er, non-recreational purposes), I helped to develop one of the first major in-house design departments to use the now ubiquitous technology.
In a glamorous career that has seen me revolutionising the design of marketing materials for, among other things, urinals, mixer taps, thermostatic radiator valves and plastic guttering, I have somehow managed not to lose my sense of humour, or ability to ask difficult questions about long-held beliefs on visual culture and education. I can also tell you more than you ever needed (or wanted) to know about the contents of your bathroom - which is probably why I never get invited round for dinner much anymore.
