Dee Iva

I’m an experienced art director and designer with a career in the UK publishing industry, having worked with Condé Nast, Hachette and Associated Newspapers. I’ve held staff roles and freelanced, most recently as Lead Designer at the Daily Telegraph. My work has been primarily print-based, but I’ve also translated layouts to iPad pages, launched the online design magazine DesignFizz in 2014, and created digital materials for the Saga magazine group. I’m flexible, quick to adapt, and I know what to ask to achieve the end result. I collaborate with editors, photographers, stylists and picture desks, and I can turn my hand to a wide range of tasks. I’m fast, creative and highly organised, able to initiate ideas, work in a team or unsupervised, run an art desk or deputise for an art director, and I can work from home if needed. I use generative AI tools to help generate ideas and help with basic tasks.
