I’m a writer and designer currently living in London, where I am the deputy editor at Literary Review. My essays and reviews have also appeared in New York Review Online, the New Statesman, The TLS, Jacobin and elsewhere.
Recently, I have written about New York, transit systems, and the New York transit system; typefaces (Microsoft’s new default), type designers (of the 20th century), and the femme fatale of fonts (Beatrice Warde); Emily Wilson’s Iliad, Nicholas Hytner’s Guys & Dolls, and Paul B Preciado’s Orlando; Virginia Woolf (I’ve written about her a fewtimes); art in Prague, Basel, and Cambridge; and a whole slew of novels, including John Lanchester’s Look What You Made Me Do, Ali Smith’s Gliff, and Vincenzo Latronico’s Perfection.
You can find a selection of the book covers I’ve designed here, including for the NYRB edition of Mrs. Dalloway and Dalkey Archive’s collection of short stories by Vladimir Sorokin. I also design exhibition catalogues, film posters, art books, magazines, and other printed matter. You can download a selected portfolio here. You can read more about my design practice here.
