About our speaker
Tim Fendley is a design pioneer. The businesses he has founded have set the standard in information and system design for the built environment. Tim started his career as a typographer and information designer, and has gone on to advise clients like Google, Princeton University, The Met Museum, Heathrow and Nike; and cities including London, New York, Rio de Janeiro and Paris. Tim’s pioneering ideas include Legible London – the gold standard for city walking information, the ground-breaking Bristol Legible City, setting the North American standard for transit information in Vancouver, and live positioning and routing technology for airports. His most recent challenge is to make sense of the San Francisco transit system. Before founding Applied, Tim founded the award-winning agency, MetaDesign with Erik Spiekermann. Tim has been a visiting lecturer at the Royal College of Art, advisor to the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design, and an Editorial contributor to the International Institute for Information Design. He also writes, speaks at events and on podcasts, including for Intelligence Squared and Monocle, about how cities and places can be better for individuals by focussing on making everything easier.
[A pop-up bar will be available at Conway Hall where you will be able to buy drinks. We hope that socialising and networking will continue after Tim’s talk in a local pub – TBC.]
