About

I am a freelance graphic designer, art director and photographer from London. Specialising in editorial and book design, I have over 12 years of experience as a designer for DNCO, Sennep, and Wallpaper*. I’m also currently a visiting lecturer at Ravensbourne University.

Graphic design

I’ve always been interested in buildings, and since graduating with a degree in Graphic Communication, I’ve been able to forge a career that combines my love of graphic design with architecture. After leaving university in Bath I moved to London and began work as a freelance designer for Jump Studios, before becoming a junior at Wallpaper* magazine. There I honed my craft of editorial design, learning from a fantastic team of designers, writers and photographers, covering all things design and architecture related.

Following from Wallpaper* I spent three years as a digital designer for Sennep, before moving to become a senior designer at DNCO, a studio specialising in culture and place. I spent over six years working on exciting projects with an incredible range of architects and developers — the highlight being Television Centre in White City. Recently I have moved back into the world of publishing, working on some exciting book and magazine projects.

Photography

I’ve been obsessively taking photos for as long as I can remember, but whilst I was working full-time as a graphic designer I only considered photography a hobby. That all changed in 2019 when I finally made it to Japan, a country I had been keen to visit for a long time. My photographs from that trip were first self-published as a book, and then exhibited in London. I was inspired to take my photography more seriously, and since then have been working hard refining my approach. In 2021 I decided to become self-employed so that I could pursue my photographic practice alongside my graphic design work.
