SELECTED WORK
MY STORY . . .
From the early days of learning my craft as a junior designer at the British Library to more recently freelancing for several notable publishing houses, my career has been dedicated to designing books and editorial content. My passion lies in vibrant storytelling through design, reflected in my desire always to convey an author's narrative in a vivid and dynamic aesthetic.
I spent several years working for Dorling Kindersley, collaborating with cartographers, editors and graphic designers to produce highly illustrated reference atlases. As a freelancer, I have undertaken projects covering an eclectic range of themes for publishers such as Mitchell Beazley, Readers' Digest, Bridgewater Books, Ivy Press, Unicorn Publishing and Bloomsbury.
In addition to my freelance work, I have had the pleasure of lecturing in graphic design and visual communication at the University of Lincoln. Working for the university was a hugely rewarding experience, providing me with the opportunity to explore personal projects and ideas while also completing a Master's Degree in Design.
