Overview
I am a Sydney-based book designer with a passion for visual storytelling and over a decade of experience. In recent years, I have been working as a book designer, both in-house and as a freelancer. I enjoy various publishing projects, but place a special emphasis on children's illustrated books. I have solid experience working on picture books, middle grade, fiction and non-fiction titles, creating layouts and covers from scratch, as well as developing established concepts for series.Specializing in print, I always maintain a versatile approach to a publishing project from initial ideas through to finished artwork.
