I’m a freelance senior editor, designer and project manager based in London. My expertise is spread across editorial, graphic design and art direction, bringing a holistic approach to any project whether it be a book or a brand or website. Back in 2015 I established the publishing imprint for the Design Museum in London, and currently serve as its publishing manager on a part-time basis. I specialise in all aspects of illustrated book publishing, from niche to high-end titles, with emphasis on a range of design disciplines such as architecture, fashion, product, transport and graphic design, yet open to other areas such as fiction, fine art and photography. I’ve also been a practicing graphic designer for nearly 15 years, focusing on book design, web design and brand identities. I’m happy working on my own or collaborating with a team of likeminded people – prizing loyalty to clients and employers alike.
