Bio

London-based graphic designer with a passion for meaningful content and working with people who believe in a friendly and listening-based approach.

Since early childhood in the 1980s, I've been captivated by the details in everyday life — from the nuances of cassette-tape design to the tactility of the printed page. My journey into design took an organic route via years of running record labels and putting on parties, eventually leading me to the London College of Communication at 28.

Now, with a decade of design experience (which includes printmaking and some teaching), I specialize in crafting impactful reports for charities and arts organizations. It feels important that my own work supports work which matters in the world. I also venture into projects that blend my design expertise with my musical background.

I'm based out of Millers Junction in Dalston, surrounded by a talented community of creatives, including illustrators, copywriters and motion designers, who I can tap into for [your] projects.

Independently of this I make experimental music and run the Collapsing Drums radio show on CAMP radio.
