Overview
I've worked in-house as Art Director for Orion Children's Books, Orchard Books and Indigo Books; on titles ranging from Children's Middle Grade through to Adult Fiction and Non-Fiction. I love to both design and illustrate/hand-letter the covers I work on, and look forward to some exciting collaborations.
