About Steve Wildish

Stephen comes from a fine art background and calls himself a hyperactive poster designer. He has a habit of collecting and ordering things, from cheeses to swear words, and turning them into charts people want to read. That habit has become more than ten books with Penguin and Chronicle Books, including Chartography, How to Swear and How to Vegan.

He co-founded Wildish & Co. with Jake Allnutt in 2012, and the studio still carries his name. His self-initiated books and prints did much of its early promotion, and he writes on brands and the plant-based category for The Grocer.

In 2017 he also set the 100m sack race world record, in 26.22 seconds, knocking more than 13 seconds off Mo Farah's time. He takes the same approach to a brief.
