Overview
I am a freelance Graphic Designer with over 11 years experience in children's publishing, and am skilled in print design across various book formats including picture books, board books, and treasuries. I enjoy the collaborative process of working together with the author and illustrator to help produce great ideas and visualise the design based on the creative brief.
