Thinking back to my last session with design students — the moment when someone realizes that careers aren’t a straight line but a collection of moments, choices, and experiments.

In a world of changing industries, that flexibility is a design skill in itself.

Reading University Announcement

Grateful to be invited by the University of Reading to contribute to their design programme this fall.

I’ll be:
– Sharing select online content in advance with students
– Giving a talk on the future state of the design industry, especially for typography-minded designers
– Joining a hybrid panel discussion on careers
– Offering one-to-one feedback sessions on portfolios and interview prep

Reading has such a strong legacy in typography — and I’m glad to help today’s students find their voice in the evolving industry.

Thanks to Keith for the nudge, and to the Reading team for the warm welcome.

Two years ago, I spoke at the Sorbonne about typography and power.

This September, I return — not with answers, but with tension.

Tension between digital tools and physical presence. Between frictionless systems and what it means to feel.

I’ll be speaking about UX Now — a framework born from asking how design education can go tactile again.

Talk drops in September. Stay tuned.
