I speak internationally on a range of topics from Japanese typography to cultural concepts revolving around design. Presentations tend to wend and weave through aesthetic trends and analysis, graphic design history, contemporary design criticism, political economics and my own projects.

I’m always on the lookout for speaking engagements and workshops at events, conferences and universities. and collaborative workshops. If interested, please contact me.
