I am a firm believer that good design should not draw attention to itself; it should complement and illuminate the message, not distract and obfuscate. Good design is something I have been striving to achieve for 20 years working in book and new media publishing. 

Ever since starting out on the university student paper at the end of the eighties I have had a passion for the beautiful presentation of both picture and word, whether electronically or in print.

If you share this same conviction then check out my work and get in touch to see if I can help you get your message across in the most arresting way.
