I graduated with an MA in Communication Design from the Royal College of Art in 1995, then started my career working as a graphic designer at Imagination, moving to MetaDesign in 1999. In 2001 I joined Cartlidge Levene, a well respected studio with a reputation for conceptual thinking and finely crafted graphic design.

Alongside working at Cartlidge Levene, in 2008 I began working in screenprint to creating small scale personal projects as an opportunity to explore ideas outside of commercial briefs. The subject matter for my personal work is driven by an interest in the potential of graphic design to reveal beauty in the normally overlooked.

I have a keen interest in architecture, stemming from many years working alongside architects on large scale wayfinding projects for buildings such as Tate Modern, V&A Dundee and The Design Museum. My personal work draws on this and is often based on abstractions of the built environment, emphasising texture, form and colour. In past projects I have explored various subjects including the shapes and forms of motorway junctions, the Barbican Estate and the topography and rivers of London.

My obsession with brick patterns began about 10 years ago and I started collecting and collating all the bond types that I could identify and name – in late 2025 these became a self-published book: Brick Bonds.
