Theodore Gray

BAFTA and IgNobel winning author of The Elements, A Visual Exploration (and several other books you should read), Founder of Touchpress (an App publishing company), stitchcoder at PaleGray Labs (an embroidery automation company / art project), and co-founder of Wolfram Research, Inc (makers of Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha). http://home.theodoregray.com/

My newest endeavor is making (and selling) what I call "Mechanical GIFs". These are small laser-cut acrylic models of mechanical devices, designed to have the same sort of explanatory power as the animated gifs you often see on the internet.

In 2010, responding to the success of The Elements on the iPad, my partners Max Whitby, John Cromie and I decided to form Touchpress, which was for a time the leading super-premium App producer, makers of, for example, Disney Animated (2013 Apple iPad App of the Year, and winner of the 2014 BAFTA Children's Interactive award) which I also authored. (The company is now part of a company formerly known as StoryToys, which adopted the name Touch Press because that's just such a great name for an App company.)
