Work
A greatest hits collection – but for brands, books and everything in between.
Over the years, I’ve helped shape, refine and (occasionally) wrestle ideas into work that’s clear, compelling and ready for the world. From exhibition catalogues and design books to brand systems, campaigns and editorial platforms, each project brings its own quirks, challenges and occasional existential crises.
This is a selection of projects where I’ve worked across editorial, creative direction and publishing strategy – ensuring that ideas don’t just sit well on the page, but land effectively wherever they appear.
