Dave WaddellDave is a writer, design strategist, teacher
and one-time whisky aficionado. Having spent many years writing on the side
while working as a primary school teacher, he set up his own copywriting
company in 2010 and cut his teeth as a design, ravel and drinks writer soon
after. Following a revelatory experience visiting a distillery in Islay, Scotland,
he became a budding whisky enthusiast, authored Whisky: The Knowledge
(2015) and was, for a time, a world whisky awards judge. Having worked with
Adam since his teaching days, much of Dave's work in design is experience-based
and is today largely and similarly focused on ensuring that architects and
urban planners build the things that people need and want. He is co-author of House
Paint & Other Stories (2014) and the architectural monograph From
Now On (2020).
