The Mongolian post office is one of those places that loves to pander to the world’s philatelists by making kitschy and quirky stamps. Here is a selection I dug out of the filing cabinet from back then:

Just back from a trip to Canada and am headlong into the production of a new magazine. The magazine is being made in collaboration with Icelandic graphic designer and illustrator Solveig Rolfsdottir. As the magazine progresses, I shall post more on the blog about its creative journey and details about its launch.

With summer break now behind us, and the autumn gradually unfolding (the pace seems slower with the economic uncertainties all around), my new public website is being assembled. Icelandic graphic designer Solveig Rolfsdottir is working on the project and I hope this is the beginning of many more collaborations.

Launched in 1999 towards the end of my two-year assignment in Mongolia, this book is a unique resource for a developing country: a one-stop compilation of journalism chronicling the ups and downs of life in a country where the political and economic system has been turned on its head. You can download an edited selection of the book from Google Books here: In their own words: Selected writings by journalists on Mongolia, 1997-1999.
Now also available at the University of Toronto: https://search.library.utoronto.ca/details?3403065
The UNDP Mongolia Communications Office aided many journalists to cover Mongolia from 1997-1999. Two examples are below:
"Herding instinct" by Jill Lawless, The Guardian, 9 June 1999.
"A Mongolian Shopping Spree Fizzles" by Thomas Crampton, The New York Times, June 25, 1998.

For the past few months I have been posting previous work from DSConsulting. From 1997 to 1999 I headed the communications office for the United Nations mission in Mongolia. The office oversaw a busy publishing programme in English and Mongolian (at the time, the country’s biggest bilingual publisher). I also led for two years (2001 to 2003) an award-winning, ground breaking e-health project for Britain’s National Health Service. I have started to scan and upload the books and publications from that time as e-books. You can view and download these e-books here: http://www.scribd.com/DSConsulting.
