Hypertexthero is a small design agency specializing in graphic and web design. I’m Simon Griffee—the boss!
I learned about computers while hacking MS/DOS to make games run in the early 1990s. After completing a Creative Advertising Design degree from Bournemouth University in 1999, I realized that the majority of things are not very good at all and certainly not worth the effort spent to convince other people to buy them.
I proceeded to teach myself graphic design and HTML and worked in small internet start-ups and large companies. After a short time I decided that commuting to and spending time in an office were not what I wanted to live for1. Rather, I wanted to travel more often and to work in my underwear, so Hypertexthero came to be.
I am passionate about the internet which I believe to be one of humanity’s greatest inventions. I am most delighted when doing worthwhile design work for good clients and when photographing. I’ve recently started The Generous Alphabet Project to help fund my photography while helping other worthy endeavours at the same time.
1 If the work is interesting and the people are fun to work with my opinion about working in an office, as all my opinions, can change. I believe that keeping an open mind is of great importance.
