My career has spanned design research, education, and practice across three interrelated phases. The current phase (c. 2015 to present) is focused on DESIGN RESEARCH into how urban environments function through their graphic objects. The middle phase (c. 2000–2015) concentrated on DESIGN EDUCATION at three contrasting universities. The early phase (c. 1985–2000) was devoted to DESIGN PRACTICE in London’s creative industries.
