About

I'm an experienced editorial designer, a perfectionist with an eye for detail and flare for layout. Have worked in various roles for The Times newspaper since leaving college in 2003. Can remain calm when dealing with the pressure of the newsroom environment and create beautiful intricately designed pages to very tight deadlines. I work well in a team of other designers and also have Design Editing experience both on the paper itself and various special supplements that appeared in the paper. This involved working closely with editors, subs, picture researchers and managing a small team of designers. Also have digital design experience making interactive pages for the Android tablet edition of the paper when it first began and creating the Formula 1 season guides for the website.
