Available to hire
I’m a designer. I bring stories to life.
I develop and design books, magazines, collectibles and other products for some of the biggest brands in the world. Specialising in licensed products has given me a deep understanding of brand identity. It’s taught me the importance of balancing creativity with a brief.
I have a BA(HONS) Degree in Graphic Design and Advertising. I am a highly creative designer and design manager with over 20 years of experience in the London design and publishing industry. My extensive portfolio highlights collaborations with some of the world’s most iconic global brands, including Star Wars, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Wizarding World: Harry Potter, Marvel, DC Comics, Star Trek, Aliens, The Walking Dead, Back to the Future, Rick and Morty, WWE, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Thunderbirds, and more. I have also designed many projects for Titan Books and Reynolds and Hearn, both publishers of TV and film books.
I have developed and designed a number of very successful titles that have gone worldwide. I am excellent at managing creative projects and teams, have excellent budgeting and briefing skills, a strong eye for detail, a great understanding of brand identity, licensed products, and the importance of listening to a client’s comments and proactively work to get the project complete.
