Background
I graduated from the London College of Printing with a BA in Graphic Design. Alongside the use of digital tools, traditional techniques like hot metal printing, hand-drawn type, and manual layout were part of the curriculum. This combination of old and new approaches gave me a strong foundation in typography, structure, and attention to detail that continues to shape the way I work today.
My early career was rooted in book and editorial design, working with large volumes of text and imagery. Developing clear grid systems and thoughtful layouts to bring structure and readability to dense content has strongly influenced my approach to communication design.
I particularly enjoy the challenge of bringing clarity and cohesion to complex materials. Alongside editorial work, I’ve also worked extensively in identity and branding design for a range of clients and sectors.

Philosophy
While the creative industry has evolved and undergone rapid change over recent years, from new digital tools to AI-driven workflows, the fundamentals of good design remain timeless. Strong typography, clear hierarchy, and thoughtful layouts are essential for communicating effectively.
My approach focuses on creating refined visual systems that support your content rather than overpower it, allowing your projects, research, and written material to speak clearly and confidently.
