Fast. Flexible. Experienced. Easy-going. Creative. Love my job. Approach it and life with humour.
With ten years experience as a freelance designer in the book market, you can be safe in the knowledge I understand the publishing process and market inside out! As well as eyecatching imaginative book covers I also design all manner of marketing materials, including catalogues, brochures, postcards, twitter graphics, facebook banners and more!
As manager of a busy design studio, I gave key support to the Art Director and design team. I managed the workflow in and out of the dept., as well as a team of freelance designers. I commissioned illustrators, assessed portfolios and negotiated fees. I also managed a weekly cover design meeting and acted as liaison between creative team and various depts. I monitored costs, schedules and quality. As well as designing my own covers, I had creative input on all book cover design and marketing materials.
