Overview
Hi, I'm Josse (although I answer to most pronunciations of my name!). After graduating from Central St. Martins in 2013 where I specialised in typography, I started work at a co-edition, producing work for various publishers around the globe. I worked in the company for four years, advancing to the position of senior designer, and built up a solid collection of freelance clients. I realised I didn't need to be tied to an office anymore and decided to work remotely from whatever sunny spot in the world took my fancy!
I pride myself on attention to detail and obsessing over the minutiae of a project, whether it be something as particular as using real small caps, or creating a custom typeface because nothing else will work.
I have experience in working across a broad range of design briefs and am skilled in liaising with other designers/editors, understanding their requirements and meeting tight deadlines. My main expertise to date has been in books, periodicals and journals and consequently I feel very comfortable designing interiors and typesetting. However, I am ambitious and always willing to take up new challenges, and, as a keen illustrator and photographer, I would be equally happy to involve myself in these areas of your project.
I look forward to hearing from you!
