Available to hire
I’m Josse Pickard, a designer with over a decade of experience designing work for publishers, brands, and creative clients. My background spans book design, editorial layout and branding underpinned by strong typographic skills and a craft-led approach developed through my studies at Central Saint Martins and the University of Reading.
Whether developing visual identities, designing complex publications, or refining print assets, I bring a calm, research-led process and an obsession over the finer typographic details. I’m comfortable working end-to-end from initial sketches to final production.
