About me
I am a graphic designer with strong typographic and conceptual skills. Over the past ten years I have worked in global branding agencies such as Fitch and Imagination, along side smaller design agencies.
I studied my MA in Book Design at Reading School of Typography where I pushed my love for typography, design history and book design.
Through my design I always aim to have a thoroughly researched and conceptual focus – leading to a well thought out piece. Whether it be designing a book, website or logo, it is my intention to push things visually and conceptually – leading to an engaging finished piece.
Work history
Designer
Full Time
More recently I have been working on my own clients, focusing on start-up brands such as Referment and other book design projects like the Unsettlers (see my portfolio). This has been beneficial from a management and strategic side as well as creatively.
I am now available for opportunities to further develop my skills and aspirations as a designer – my focus having always been creativity, quality, detail, thoroughly researched and thought out projects.

Wanting to build on my current experience & strengthen my typographic design knowledge, I completed my MA in Book Design at the department for Typography & Graphic Communication in Reading with a +Distinction.
This year was a brilliant experience & challenge, with the opportunity to learn from some incredible teachers. I was invited to design a book for Professor Michael Twyman as part of my professional project, which I later completed in assosciation with Oxford University Museum of Natural History and published by The Printing Historical Society.
