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.

  Pixel Perfect #1: Persona 5Pixel 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 history through punk's influence on Japan, examine the accessibility failings of the game, and consider how well Persona 5 translates historical imagery to a modern setting. Liking, sharing, and subscribing help the channel so... do that.
