Design Reviewed was created to give designers, researchers, and creatives affordable access to design history. The project exists to document, preserve, and celebrate graphic design by ensuring designers are credited and their work is accessible for future generations.
Membership from £2.49/month unlocks 200 articles written from the artefacts in the collection, supporting the archive directly and giving you full access to the research it makes possible.
I deliver graphic design history workshops to universities and design schools, drawing directly on the physical archive. Sessions are meticulously curated, offered in-person or online, and designed to spark genuine discussion about the history and relevance of graphic design.
Institutions I’ve worked with include the IED (Istituto Europeo di Design, Milan), LABASAD (Barcelona School of Arts and Design), Arts University Bournemouth, Leeds Beckett University, and many more.
I also deliver bespoke presentations to design agencies and at industry events, bringing the physical archive into the room. Agency sessions combine a curated selection of original artefacts with a presentation tailored to the team, followed by discussion and ongoing support on live design projects.
Sessions are available in-person or online, for teams of any size.
My collection boasts over 11,000 artifacts spanning 150 years of graphic design history. From rare graphic and architecturally focused periodicals like Typografia, Architectural Design, and Typographische Monatsblatter to National Theatre programs designed by Ken Briggs, mid-century colorful folded maps, and illustrated German film posters by Hans Hillmann.
