Most designers make things look good. I make them work. If your editorial layout is falling flat, your brand guide isn’t translating to print, or your annual report looks like it was assembled in a hurry, that’s the exact problem I solve. With 15+ years in graphic design, I specialise in high-complexity print and publication work where precision isn’t optional, typography carries weight, and one misaligned grid can unravel an entire spread. Your magazine, annual report, or corporate publication needs more than a clean layout. It needs a visual system that holds up across every page, every section, every print run. I design and produce these in Adobe InDesign, managing everything from structure and typesetting to prepress and print-ready delivery. No last-minute spec chasing. No printer surprises. Got complex data, dense tables, or multi-step process flows buried in a Word doc nobody reads? I translate those into infographics, custom icons, and visual frameworks that actually communicate and stick. Building a brand guide? I don’t just document colours and fonts. I build a visual identity system designed to stand out, stay consistent, and scale across print and digital without losing its edge. I also handle eBook and KDP formatting, catalogues, print advertising, flyers, and static social content, all built to work on press and on screen. The gap between what your content is and what it feels like? That’s my lane. Tell me what impact you want to make.

I came to design through ten years in marketing. That influences how I approach every project - strategy, structure, intent and audience, before we even consider the visuals. I'm a Top Rated designer with 100% job success, specialising in multi-page print and publication design. That covers reports, whitepapers, capability statements, books, magazines, information design and long-form documents - anything where hierarchy, flow and visual clarity are doing real work! Before the layout comes the thinking: what is the purpose, who is the audience, what do we want them to understand? Alongside publication work I also take on brand identity, packaging and pitch decks when the brief calls for something broader. If you've got a project coming up, message me with what you're working on. I'll let you know asap whether I'm the right fit :) Tools: Expert in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop. Alex
