Work
A greatest hits collection – but for books.
Over the years, I’ve helped shape, refine and (gently) wrestle manuscripts into polished, publication-ready works. From sprawling exhibition catalogues to sharp design books and academic deep-dives, each project brings its own quirks, challenges and occasional existential crises.
This is a selection of past editorial projects where I’ve worked as an editor, publishing strategist and (occasionally) the person making sure the text and design actually get along – ensuring that every book not only looks good and reads even better but is worthy of the bookshop shelf.
