Complete IT company rebrand, including an extensive brand guide for web and print.
Working with a global c-suite level recruitment company to update and unify their brand and ensure consistency in all internal and external communications, collaborating with their marketing team. I design social media, whitepapers, reports and recently completed a PowerPoint presentation template to be sent to their 250+ staff across their global offices. I’ve been able to template most marketing material making the team almost self-sufficient. With my art direction the extensive brand guidelines and updated styling has contributed to a huge addition of social media followers. For instance, the company LinkedIn following has grown by over 60,000+ people.
My latest work has been with DK to design and develop new titles and series within the DK Learning team. This has involved working with illustrators, briefing them accordingly and working up new ideas. I am also designing logos and templates for DK’s packagers to take over on some new project series.
Just recently my beautifully illustrated book Food Around The World for DK has been released. I scamped and designed pages before liaising with Tom Heard, the illustrator on the project, who was able to interpret my vision and produce the most amazing artwork for each page. A joy for children who would like to know more about food worldwide.
As a trusted design partner of Dynamo publishing I have designed three Supertato books, ‘Where’s Supertato?’ a search and find book, ‘How To Be A Supertato’ and The Official Supertato 2025 Annual, helping to also build on the Supertato brand guide.
A 128 page book designed for a Peter Rabbit Cross Stitch special, an extra item for the subscribers of the Peter Rabbit Cross Stitch partwork by Hachette.
I have also designed books for Dynamo for DK from topics ranging from animals and dinosaurs, to the Queen’s passing and educational and quiz books.
