I’ve aways been drawn to the way a beautifully made thing can hold a story.

A map that captures where two people met, a book that preserves a family’s history, a design that give a small business the confidence to put itself out into the world.

I’ve worked in publishing, landscape architecture and design studios but what I love most is working directly with people on something that genuinely matters to them.

I’m based in Knaresborough in North Yorkshire and I work with clients across the UK and internationally.
