Overview
I am a print designer with a deep love of books. My childhood was spent in the remote Australian outback, and books kept me connected with the wider world. I am therefore very happy as a designer to have the opportunity to work on book cover and text design. Each author has a message they want reflected in their work, and I do my best to bring that out in the finished design. Rather than use templates or churn out near-identical covers, I try to start anew with each new book, and in partnership with the author, find the visual solution that best works for that title. I love striking photography, witty illustration and elegant type design.
