Overview
I've worked in publishing for almost a decade designing vibrant, contemporary book covers across a range of genres; fiction, non-fiction, poetry, cookery, sports books, and children's books. In addition to book design, my illustrations have been printed on packaging, clothing, textiles, posters and stickers.
I love to create hand-drawn artwork and illustrations where it suits, but am equally confident editing photographs and finishing designs with striking typography. My signature style is detailed and colourful, with a retro feel to it. I am very drawn to pattern design.
I generally work very quickly and am a communicative designer. I like to work collaboratively and keep clients in the loop as designs progress so that I can ensure the end result meets the vision. If you have a project in mind please feel free to get in touch.
