How I Hope To Contribute To OFBL

In both type design and computing circles, I often describe myself as a tourist. I enjoy talking to people about free software and type design and typography, and hope to contribute to the non-code aspects of things, like website design and contents (this wiki!) and the development of new type design software.

Personal Trivia

I'm a designer and nerd in Bournemouth, UK, and I do systems and network consultancy for a living. I completed a BA (Hons) Interaction Design degree at Ravensbourne College in 2006, and am currently on the MA Typeface Design course at Reading, from October 2007 to July 2009. My design philosophy centers around the parameterisation and automation of design to improve the design process, and some of my old ideas are published at designprocess.com. More recently I've made speeches about free software fonts, mostly recorded and published at River Valley.
