TYPE & EDITORIAL



I believe a graphic designer’s job is to visually communicate. Here in my current role at Dovetail Games I have learnt to communicate to our audiences information through a varying range of infographics across multiple titles, displaying a variety of information in clear, engaging, appealing formats.



Schema Type Foundry is a personal exploration inspired by the four core ideas that form the foundation of “Schema” in psychology.

Schema Type Foundry’s ambition is to simplify typographic solutions by offering what we call "Packs" — versatile font families that include both body copy, and display fonts designed to work in harmony, creating cohesive and well-executed typographic pairing. Through Schema, I have had the opportunity to express my creative identity and demonstrate my editorial and typographic skills, developing everything from scratch. Completed in 2022.






A great personal achievement becoming a published graphic designer, invited to create a typographic number for the 2022 Fedrigoni 365 Calendar, especially as I was assigned the 18th of August, coincidentally my father's birthday. My design for number 18 draws inspiration from the rugged, almost modular terrain of the Jurassic Coastline, a place where I’ve spent many memorable summers with my father. Completed in 2022.





Publication (ONE2EIGHTEEN) & Newsletter (Daily Pill). Completed 2021 and 2020.



Multiplicity In Modular, the project title of my dissertation. Two custom modular typefaces made using a stencil - a personally developed type system designed, laser cut and produced inhouse. To apply purpose, I collaborated with a community of people 425,000 strong entering them into 2022’s round of 36 Days of Type. Completed in 2022.
