Print Designer

I've spent the last three years designing theatre programmes for a major UK & Ireland theatre operator, producing 100+ programmes across 50+ venues. I introduced paragraph, character, and object styles in InDesign to standardise layout and cut formatting time by around half, taking output from one programme a month to five. I care about getting print production systems right as much as the page design itself.

About

Design that works
for the people using it

I'm a Digital Designer who loves that solving problems with design. My work spans UX, web, brand, and print, and I've had the chance to work with some brilliant clients across sport, arts, sustainability, and higher education: turning unusable dashboards into ones people actually enjoy, building websites that bring in real leads, and keeping brands looking sharp even when things move fast. I'm endlessly curious, and genuinely happiest when I'm learning something new.
