What's Here

Blog
Well, it would be rude not to... Go to the blog.
Biography
My day job is information design manager for Warwick Business School. I still work freelance as an information designer for print and Web. Whether you're a potential customer, an old friend or just a regular surfer, you can find out all about who wrote this stuff. Music, Latvia, fine wine, penguins, other interests and the usual eclectic links.
Pinxit Design
Details of the services offered by Pinxit Design, my consultancy for information design - or as I sometimes call it: 'thoughtful design'. Whatever you call it, Pinxit Design produces elegant, aesthetic and functional graphic design and copywriting for both print and Web. See some portfolio and philosophy as well as some more about what exactly is information design.
PhD
Wearing my chartered physicist hat, my doctoral thesis in semiconductor surface physics from the University of Warwick is available online.
IT
I'm an experienced user of a broad range of computer technologies. In the design business I work with RISC OS workstations and Windows XP PCs for page layout and illustration. I've set up a small linux server to look after mail, file storage and stuff like that at home. I've been online since 1991 and designing for the Web since 1993 (when Mosaic was hot!). My IT page is therefore pretty broad, featuring software I've written and a variety of external links that I find useful.
Ros
My wife, Ros, has her own slice of space on the Web.
Jessica
My daughter, Jess, does not yet have a slice of space, since she takes up so much of my blog already...
