About me

I’m a creative senior freelance book designer originally from North Yorkshire, currently living and working in London. My design is fresh but familiar - classic while never feeling stale. I have a love of colour and find inspiration everywhere... from album covers, Swiss typography and textile design through to sweet wrappers, street art and letterpress printmaking. I work as a freelance book cover designer at Thames & Hudson and several other small independent publishers, as well as being head of design at the non profit organisation aidsmap.
