About me

I am a designer based in the south-east of England. I work in all areas of print (and some digital) specifically in book design and branding. I've worked with a host of publishers, including National Geographic, Harper Collins, Pearson, Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Osprey, and more. I've also worked with a wide array of clients such as editor Victoria Mixon and nationally-renowned theatre company Nunkie. When I'm not designing, I am a writer and speaker. I also really don't like moths but I can tie my shoelaces really well.

  Cut Context #1: Persona 5I decided to reissue one of my videos, Noise Machine, as the series in which it is place evolves. Some folks have seen it, but if you haven't and you're interested in contextual design (which all designers should be, really) here's another push to look at it. Pixel Perfect is a series that examines the contextual design in media. In Noise Machine: Persona 5, Noise, and the Accessibility of Beauty we examine Persona 5's art direction and graphic design through a contextual lens. We trace its hi
