Overview
Hello I'm Collette a Graphic Designer based in Surrey, with lots of central London experience!
I have worked on fiction, non fiction and reference titles across Dorling and Kindersley, Random House and Pan Macmillan. I've worked on some diverse titles, a number proving to be best sellers in their categories. I've specialised in recent years on illustrated co-editional publishing. Designing, art directing and project managing complex titles from concept through to print.
Stand out projects have been; The Adelaide children's book series, The Little Self Care series, Neil's Yard Complete Wellness and Masterchef Cookery Course.
Clients have included; Sotheby's, Freedman International, Dorling and Kindersley, Equality Trust and Hogarth WW, Pan Macmillan, MBI, Bonnier and Penguin Random House.
I pride myself on being calm under pressure, working with me will be collaborative, fun and highly organised.
