Overview
I love design and typography!
Admittedly that's a short opening sentence, but it's why I'm a graphic designer who specialises in book design.
With over 18 years’ experience in the publishing and design industries, I can provide a full book jacket and interior design service for you. I mainly work in adult non-fiction books, however I enjoy designing covers and interiors for all genres and I'd love to design more fiction and academic titles. I also work on foreign language co-editions and even pop-up books. Laying out an M.C. Escher pop-up book in Japanese was probably my most mind-bending challenge to date!
I have worked for clients of all sizes and budgets from large-scale publishers to indie authors. Selected clients have included Bloomsbury, Thames and Hudson, Quarto, Summersdale, Scholastic, Aurum, Hay House, BlueRed Press, Royal Museums Greenwich, and The National Trust.
My process initially involves a consultation with you regarding your book. If you have a brief that's great! If not we can talk through what you'd like to see and I'll chime in with some designeryness* as well. Then I'll produce a few ideas, you tell what you like or what you prefer, and we'll refine the design until you're super happy with the result.
Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your next design project and I look forward to working with you.
