I am a graphic designer with more than ten years experience for clients in the arts, publishing and non-profit organisations as well as the corporate and public sectors.
The diverse range of work I’ve been involved with has broadened my skill set across editorial, book design and visual identity to annual reports, signage, exhibition design and infographics. Applying myself to this variety of projects has given me strong abilities in problem-solving, creative thinking and project management.
I’ve been an assessor for the International Society of Typographic Designers’ Student Assessments since 2011; a visiting lecturer at IADT and also at the National College of Industrial Relations.
I’m ideas and concept-driven with a love and knowledge of what is required to achieve quality design and finishing. I enjoy working collaboratively and independently and have experience of both through my time freelancing. I have a lifelong love for typography and book collecting and am very detail-orientated and production-minded in my work as a result.

The shape of the title of the festival takes its cue each time from the form of the dancer's body... and by doing so enters the dynamic space of the stage. By choosing a different hero image each year, a new shape of title is achieved and when combined with the festival's signature yellow, an annually evolving yet easily recognisable identity is achieved.
