Judy Caley – Designer

20 years. Award-nominated titles. Multi-book series commissions. Happiest working on illustrated adult non-fiction and reference publishing.

Overview

Graphic designer with nearly 20 years' experience in illustrated adult non-fiction and reference publishing, working across science, the natural world, history, the arts, and more. Credits include award-nominated titles, multi-book series commissions, and flagship projects for one of the world's leading illustrated publishers, comfortable owning a title from initial concept through to print, or stepping seamlessly into a larger publishing team.

Every project gets the same attention: tight layouts, considered typography, and a genuine understanding of what makes illustrated non-fiction work on the page. My dog attends all meetings... and will require a credit.
