Writer / Pamphleteer / Avant-gardist typographer

Paul is a design writer living in Brussels and London. In March 2009 Paul started working as out-of-phase as a practice based catch-all name to house all his commercial and avant-garde investigations into ritualistics of language – spoken, printed or other. This also includes critical writing about design – related to art, graphics and built environment.

Through working to commission and open submission Paul's work can be seen in magazines like HESA Inprint (Helsinki), Critical Writing Collective (Sheffield), Stimulus Respond (Goldsmiths, London), Nozine (London) and Assembly Projects (London). When he writes Paul works within and around the discipline of art, design and print.

Curators and editors-in-chief publishing the work have noted it for possessing an 'originality of idea', 'fresh perspective' and 'acid-spirit' in equal measure. He is a former graphic designer and as a designer educator specialises in typographic history and contemporary practice.

In practice the writing is varied and can be categorised into long-form articles, design criticism, pamphlet editions and visual skits.
