Tell us about yourself
I am from Massachusetts, and got into type when I joined Compugraphic after working at a newspaper as a photographer. I moved to Seattle, joined Microsoft and created the world's favourite font. I was born an eighth of a mile from Fenway Park in Boston and I have lived in England since 1999. Since then I have been part of the Richmond Baseball Club in London where they have named a field after me.
What prompted you to take your current role?
I really like knowing how things work. So getting into the technical aspects was second nature.
What's your favourite part of your job?
Certainly solving problems that someone else has with anything.
What's your Small Object of Design, and why?
It has to be that little wheel in the middle of the mouse I use to zoom or scroll all the time and Steve Jobs didn't invent it.
