About the author

I’m a designer and practitioner of fine typography in Auckland, New Zealand. I co-founded a design and development studio, Cactuslab, in 2001, and a social network for film fans, Letterboxd, in 2011. I design themes for Tumblr, speak occasionally about web techniques and typography, and think up reasons to visit New York City.

Gary Hustwit (director of Helvetica and Objectified) is making the first feature-length documentary about the life and work of German industrial designer Dieter Rams. Equally important: part of the campaign total will be put towards preserving Rams’ design archive — a majority of which has never been seen by the public. The Kickstarter campaign has reached its goal, but there’s still 24 hours left to become a backer and contribute to this effort.
