I’m an accomplished magazine art director & designer creating printed visual content for high quality consumer magazines and brands.

An expert at bringing magazine pages to life, my layouts and covers showcase inspirational photography, sophisticated photo editing, creative design and typography. I have managed small busy art teams, overseeing all aspects of a print magazine, from concepts, scamping layouts, commissioning and briefing photographers and illustrators, final layout, preparing pages for print, working with printers, to guiding full-time staff and freelance contributors in delivering work to consistently high standards on time and on budget. I have extensive experience commissioning travel, food photographers and prop stylists.

Whilst specialising in food and travel related publications has been my most recent venture, I’m equally at home working for lifestyle magazines and brands.
