- About
- At thirty years old, Craig Ward is currently enjoying his third life.
- The first was spent growing up in a retirement village in the North East of England, while the second took him to London, where he worked as an art director and designer at a handful of advertising agencies.
- His third life finds him in New York where he lives with his wife and cat, consulting and creating pioneering, award winning typography and art direction for a diverse range of clients from fashion to advertising and editorial.
- A contributor to several industry journals and former ADC Young Gun, Craig’s work has been shown, awarded and documented globally in countless books, publications and exhibitions.

- Praise
- “Ward has reached what we might term the 'hating point' - that point at which a designer or image maker reaches a certain stage of acclaim which then triggers the inevitable backlash from his or her peers”
Patrick Burgoyne, Creative Review
- “Craig Ward is just ridiculously talented”
Chuck Anderson, NoPattern
- “Passionate about pushing type to its limits, Craig Ward straddles the boundary between illustration and typography in his work, constantly exploring the notion of word as image”
Julia Sagar, Computer Arts
- “Craig Ward has established himself as one of the most important typographers on the scene today...”
Lost At E Minor
- “Ward has a very special awareness of words. The question of just how he creates his designs fills us with curiosity”
Nahoko Mori, +81
