About
Joseph is an independent design director and founder of Swim Type, working across brand design, art direction, motion and type design. His work is shaped by curiosity, optimism and a love of craft – meaning he’s most commonly found trying to make something he’s never made before with a big smile on his face and a cold brew somewhere nearby.
