Hypertexthero is a one-person design agency.
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 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 for. 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.
History
Hypertexthero launched in May of 2005 when I left my home in Formello, Italy to try living as a nomadic designer. I’m happy to say I’ve managed so far.
