My clients have included: The Guardian, the Evening Standard, the Hampstead & Highgate Express, Southwark News, the Marylebone Express, the Wood and Vale Express, the Morning Star, Hackney Today, Disability Now and Virgin Trains magazine.

Specific Design Information
I've worked as a designer for both large and small organisations on projects ranging from books for small publishers to complete corporate identity schemes for national charities, as well as all the normal kind of print projects, (booklets, leaflets, posters, stationery).

My design/print clients have included: The Daily Telegraph, Unison, Larousse Kingfisher Publishing, the MS Society, National Childbirth Trust, London Civic Forum, Watford Borough Council, Clays Lane Housing Co-operative, Housing 21 and Panoptic Sport.

My design style is clean and minimal. I use strong typography and layout rather than a cluttered collection of unnecessary graphic elements that lower readability.

Background Information
I've loved photography ever since childhood. I've never lost my sense of wonder at the magic of being able to freeze a moment in time.

If you want to know something, please ask - I'm pretty friendly. I'm always happy, and keen to swap tips, hints and information with other photographers and I'm not precious about knowledge. The more we share, the more we all learn.
