From the largest of publishing ventures to the simplest book cover design—if you care about the quality of your publication then I can help. Typography, image quality and the arrangement of all design elements are always very carefully considered.

I design covers and internals for both illustrated and text-based titles.

I'm more than happy to discuss working to your budget requirements.

If necessary I have access to a considerable network of other highly skilled creative professionals in whatever fields are required: editorial, photography, illustration, etc...

I can also advise on colour reproduction, prepress, paper stock, specialty print finishes and bindings—whatever is needed to bring your project to life.

I also offer experience in the design of all peripheral material such as online graphics, brochures and catalogues, right up to displays and signage for book fairs.

My online portfolio is just a small sample of my work, so if there's something more specific you would like to see then please contact me.

I am an Art Director/Book Designer, and have designed books and covers for all facets of the publishing industry, both fiction and non-fiction. A large part of my career has been the art direction and design of some of the world’s most prestigious and complex publications. I also have a wealth of experience in designing simpler text-based books.

I have designed for many of the mainstream publishing houses, numerous boutique publishers, government institutions, museums, galleries and corporate clients. I have acted as Art Director for many, including Random House (Australia), Global Book Publishing and Millennium House.

I also have considerable experience in project management, many times heading up large teams of other creative professionals.

I am completely proficient in all aspects of design within the publishing environment, from concept to press.
