Overview

I am a Designer and Art Director with a strong personal practice that builds on Image Making, how we see the world, and Photography.

I have a Graphic Design background working in Music and Publishing and over 25 years experience. I have worked on internationally recognised book designs and music projects, with a specialism in book covers.

I have an MA in Communication Design: Illustration, with Distinction and a commendation for Academic Achievement gained from Kingston University, achieved after returning to study having worked in Design for many years.

I never stop learning, never stop seeing, and I'm excited about future new creative ventures that haven't happened yet.
