Speaker Wayne Thompson

After beginning his career as an advertising art director, Wayne Thompson launched his type foundry in 2001. He works full time as a type designer, typographer, and type educator in Australia, producing custom type projects for corporate and advertising clients. He recently gained his Masters of Type Design from the University of Reading, UK. Thompson is looking forward to returning to live gigs with his band Nerds and Music. He supports Arsenal and, occasionally, Spurs (except when they play Arsenal), but never Chelsea.
