Following an undergraduate Graphic Information Design degree and a postgraduate teaching qualification, I completed a postgraduate degree at the Royal College of Art.
I worked for Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (Netherlands Broadcasting Service) then for Sebastian Conran Associates before establishing a studio in East London with Russel Warren-Fisher and Hannah Tofts.
I wrote and designed a series of 32 non-fiction Children's books in science, history and geography which were published in 14 languages across 26 nations.
In 1994, I won the American Institute of Physics Award for Science Writing and in 1997 the Geography Gold Medal for Most Significant Contribution to Geography.
I became Head of Typography at London College of Printing then Course Director for MA Communication Design at CSM and, subsequently, Academic Programme Leader at the University of Brighton. I was finally appointed Associate Head of School and Head of Department: Graphic Design at Kingston School of Art.
