Encompassing the public and private sectors, local and global charities, and commercial enterprises, his diverse clients include the Co-operative, Halfords, Phaidon Press, the Science Museum, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Shakepeare's Globe and Boots. To each he brings his own brand of intelligence combined with elegance and warmth mixed with wit. Pearce is also a member of the advisory board and lead designer for Witness -a human rights charity founded by Peter Gabriel. Throughout his career he has been concerned with using design to connect minds so that they share a different and clearer vision. In 2009 he published his collection of design puzzles, Conundrums: Typographical Conundrums. Conundrums will be available for purchase, ($14.99; credit cards only). Book sales provided by The MCA Store.
