I trained as a graphic designer at the Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem. After moving to London, I enrolled in the Typographic Design Course at what was then the London College of Printing (now London College of Communication, LCC). One of the most formative influences during my studies was Frederick Lambert, typeface designer and editor of Typos. Thanks to Freddie—and amid clouds of his cigarette smoke—I discovered the existence of serif and sans-serif typefaces, and how typography could reflect and shape social and political visual expression.
Early in my career, I worked as a designer for The Observer Magazine, and later held positions at several leading design studios, including Hans Schleger Associates. After a period of freelance work, I founded Eugenie Dodd Typographics—a designer-led creative studio and consultancy. Since then, the studio has delivered a wide range of projects, from concept to production, across print, exhibition, and screen-based media for a diverse set of clients.
My work has been exhibited internationally and featured in design publications, where I’ve also contributed as an expert in typographic design. I’ve led annual typography workshops in Denmark and Israel for many years, and throughout my practice, I’ve dedicated one day a week to teaching. I’ve worked as an associate lecturer on BA and MA programmes at LCC and Kingston University, which has been a vital and rewarding part of my professional life.
I believe that practicing designers should actively contribute to education. The exchange between theory and practice strengthens both: it affirms ideas for students and expands the perspective and possibilities for practitioners—ultimately raising the standard of design.
I’m a long-standing member of the International Society of Typographic Designers (iSTD), and was recently honoured to be elected a Fellow.
