Designer, Karl Randay

Karl Randay is a graphic designer with degrees in Typography and graphic design, specialising in usability, accessibility and multimedia typography. After spending far too long avoiding employment in favour of adding to the letters he can feasibly list after his name, Karl returned to his original course in typography, this time to share the staff lounge with his former lecturers for a brief spell, before feeling the seductive pull of the internet and the challenge of developing a typographic system of design principles for use online.

Over the years Karl has worked with a distinctive variety of projects, from online content-managed directories for local universities, to major exhibition sites for the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and more recently as the official photographer and internet consultant for the third largest St. Patrick's Day festival in the world.

Karl lives in the cathedral city of Lichfield in the UK with his wife and their hamster, and can be found most weekends either gardening, pottering about with his camera, constantly tweaking his 'in-progress' typefaces or avoiding cleaning the car.
