She creates engaging and interactive multisensory events for on and offline worlds and is the go-to for type-related knowledge – she advises chef Heston Blumenthal on “font science” and co-publishes research with sense expert Professor Charles Spence, University of Oxford. She conjured a new way of experiencing fonts during the pandemic and has been joined live by nearly 10,000 viewers. She’s a TEDx speaker who has appeared on shows including BBC Radio 4’s Word of Mouth and Channel 4 television’s Sunday Brunch.
