About me

I am a highly experienced and qualified print-production professional, who has worked in the publishing industry for more than 15 years. I have worked with some of the world's most prestigious designers, artists, museums, galleries and fashion establishments including: Martin Parr, JR, Steve McCurry, Grace Coddington, Vogue, Yves Saint Laurent Foundation, Fantastic Man Studio, Olafur Eliasson, Graphic Thought Facility, Irma Boom and Stefan Sagmeister among others.

My goal is always to produce high-end, colour-sensitive books, developing innovative print and finishing solutions with an eye for detail and technical know-how. Selecting appropriate materials, print processes and finishing techniques to develop creative design briefs. I also work with a team of trusted designers and editors - so can offer the full book production package (from concept through to delivery) if desired.

I can offer full bespoke production services including:

- Development of publication brief, research and development, including liaison with designers and authors.

- Colour correction of images and retouching direction for best possible reproduction of original artworks in print in light controlled environment.

- Buying and management of repro/pre-press services.

- Advice regarding the selection of best process and book materials.

- Print buying/ supplier management: I work with a tried and tested Global network of suppliers in the UK, Europe and the Far East and have specialised knowledge and experience in producing books to a very high-specification at prices that may surprise you.

- Press passing and trouble-shooting the printing of titles and managing all the printing, binding and finishing stages of book production (in both Europe and China).

- Delivering beautifully produced books crucially both on schedule and in budget
