With over 13 years of experience in design for publication, it's some of the work I love most - spanning book jackets, cookbooks, and creative projects across all genres for Penguin Random House, Headline, Quadrille and Bloomsbury publishing. I'm a freelance designer, if you feel I could be a good fit for any projects or opportunities, I'd love to hear from you or meet up, even if it's just to say hi and chat some more, or to talk through any specific projects you might have in mind.
