ABOUT

I am a freelance graphic designer with over 30 years experience, based in South East London. I design books, magazines and more besides, specialising in sports and photography. I have also worked as a co-publisher and author on projects such as the photobook This Sporting Life, which brings together the incredible work of photographer Gerry Cranham. 

From 1988-98 I worked for When Saturday Comes football magazine during which period the title evolved from groundbreaking fanzine to half decent football magazine. Between 1998 and 2018 I was WSC’s freelance art editor and compiled the magazine’s photography and archive photography features. I also set up the WSC Photography archive, which you can read about here.

Since 1999 I have also been producing illustrated books, packaging for the music industry and marketing material. I was series designer for the specialist sports heritage publishers Played in Britain, edited by Simon Inglis, from 2004-2014. I have been designing books for specialist independent publishers Vision Sports Publishing – whose clients include Tottenham Hotspur, Surrey County Cricket Club and England Rugby – since 2008.

Going back to the early 2000s, I worked with creative genius Mike Alway, designing sleeves for él records re-issues, Alan McGee’s Poptones label, Cherry Red and others. We once produced a limited edition, white vinyl 7" of an Orson Welles speech boxed with a Cuban cigar. When that’s on your CV you can die a happy man.

Feel free to look round and get in touch. You can also listen to me rambling on about WSC, DIY fanzine culture and other loosely related matters here.
