DANGEROUS BY DESIGN

ALEX MILSOM

I’ve been designing for 10 years. I should probably know what I’m doing by now, but mostly I’m still just making it up as I go.

My favourite way to unwind is to strangle my friends (it’s okay, it’s called Jiu Jitsu). If the weather’s nice, I might skip the choking and wander through a garden with my camera instead.

I recently became a dad, which means I now do twice the amount of work on half the amount of sleep. I’m fine, I promise.

The best work I’ve ever done can’t be shown, because it was for a shadowy government agency and I’d prefer not to go to prison.

I also founded a company making Jiu Jitsu apparel, because clearly I didn’t already have enough projects.

In theory, I read books. In reality, I collect fancy ones for the shelf and listen to the audiobook in the car.

If you’ve got a project with some edge, hit me up. Just know I’ll probably work on it at 3 a.m.

TRUSTED TO DELIVER.
