Speaker

I’m on a mission to help developers and designers to get their message better across and improve their projects with pimped typography.

I host the YouTube channel Pimp my Type, speak at conferences and am a guest on podcasts covering the topic of digital typography. If you think one of my talks could fit your show or event, drop me a line!

Typographie im Web

“Oliver has his own particular style of quirk and humour that really sets his speaking style apart from almost anyone else I’ve seen before. His delivery is hilarious, but never detracts from his message—I learned so much from him in such a short space of time. I think he’s pretty unique, and I’ve seen a lot of conference speakers! I’d recommend getting him on-board.”
