ABOUT ME
I’m an award-winning book cover designer, art director and illustrator, based in London.
Currently freelancing, I have over 20 years experience working at some of the UK’s leading publishing houses, including HarperCollins, Puffin Books and Egmont. I spent the last 11 years at Hachette Children’s Group, working across the fiction list from bestselling authors such as Leigh Bardugo and Alex Bracken to exciting debut authors like Erik J. Brown. I’m happy to create either the entire design or work with illustrators to produce eye-catching book covers.
I’m a lover of eclectic interiors, vintage and retro packaging and poster design and old buildings. You’ll usually find me sewing, printing, DIY-ing, baking and generally creating.
