I specialise in editorial and publication design for corporate and institutional clients — with a particular focus on annual reports, investor-facing documents, and long-form publications for listed companies and financial services organisations. With over 15 years of experience, I build design systems that bring clarity, hierarchy, and credibility to complex content. Accuracy and structure matter as much as aesthetics — especially when documents are regulatory, investor-facing, or brand-critical. Most clients bring me in when content has outgrown piecemeal design. I step into complex projects and create visual frameworks that hold — across print, digital, and future updates. What I do: • Annual reports and integrated reporting for listed and institutional clients • Investor relations documents, prospectuses, and financial publications • Editorial design for reports, white papers, and long-form corporate publications • Design systems for consistency across print and digital • UX-focused layout for content-heavy websites and digital products I work primarily in Adobe InDesign and deliver print-ready and web-optimised files. I maintain a 100% Job Success Score, and 94% of my clients return for ongoing work. If your publication needs to communicate credibility, clarity, and authority — I'd be happy to discuss your project.

With a 100% Job Success score, I translate chaos into clarity: executive-ready, brand-consistent decks that tell the story clearly and look the part. I design pitch decks, proposals, board packs, training decks, and PowerPoint videos, with clean layouts, strong typography, and purposeful animation. Think clear story, confident visuals, and slides that don’t scream “intern’s first day.” I work primarily in PowerPoint and Canva, and I use Affinity Designer for custom graphics when a project needs something more unique than stock icons and shapes. I’m detail-obsessed in the most useful way (alignment, spacing, consistency), but I won’t over-design just to show off. Nobody needs a 12-step animation to understand a bullet point ;) The goal is work that’s easy to use, professional to share, and hard to ignore. I also take on design work beyond presentations, like brochures, flyers, one-pagers, and social media graphics. Same approach: clean, professional, and consistent with your brand.
