New work, in response to the @londonbiennale open call, and in collaboration with @_dean__brown_ : Out of (Paper) Office. The OO(P)O printable templates transform any empty shop into a community not-working space. An antidote to missing out on quotidian trivialities whilst WFH.

New work: display layout and graphic design for 'Margaret Calvert: Woman at Work' at the Design Museum, London. The exhibition celebrates the graphic design of Margaret Calvert, which has shaped much of the our national visual identity, from roads to railways and beyond.

“Banksy loves to mess about with them.” Margaret Calvert, typographer and graphic designer who co-designed the UK's road signage system, says she’s worked with Banksy before and she’s “flattered” he “takes the mickey out of what we do” #Newsnight

My favourite image from the Calvert exhibition: how road sign legibility used to be tested by men sitting in a field.
