Background

John Grimwade is the information graphics director of both Condé Nast Portfolio and Condé Nast Traveler magazines, based in New York.

Over the last 20 years, he has freelanced for 30 other major magazines, including an 8-year spell as graphics consultant to Popular Science. Although he has produced all kinds of explanatory graphics, his speciality is wayfinding maps and diagrams: helping people navigate complex spaces.

He has co-hosted many infographic workshops in Spain and the U.S., and given presentations at the Society of News Design and Malofiej conferences, the Poynter Institute, and the Folio Show.

In another life, John was graphics director at The Times in London. He has a degree in graphic design from Canterbury College of Art.
