I’m a writer, editor and researcher working within the creative arts and lifestyle publishing industry. With a passion for design and creative culture, I began my career as a writer at Grafik magazine and now write for both print and online publications editing and contributing to a number of titles including Riposte, Motherland, Elephant, UPPERCASE and Travel Dose.

In recent years my writing and editing role has evolved and I now also work with clients to develop social strategies, content creation and consult on overall branding and communication strategies. As well as this I have spent over 10 years working as a creative insights researcher within the communications industries carrying out global consumer research and writing reports on cultural and consumer trends.

I have authored a number of internationally published books covering a range of subjects including graphic design, typography, letterpress printing, book making and stationery design. Titles include Type Specific, Poster-Art, Handmade Type and Little Book of Letterpress. My most recent book, 100 IKEA HACKS, was released in Autumn 2016.
