Every project starts as a waveform. Drag your cursor across to feel how a mix breathes — that's the same instinct I bring to a layout.

Experience
For nearly a decade I've worked alongside independent musicians and small labels — translating a record into the object you hold, the poster you steal off a wall, the t-shirt you sleep in.
My practice sits between the printer's tray and the rehearsal room. I sketch with type the way a producer arranges a track: rhythm first, hierarchy second, ornament last. The result tends to be quiet, deliberate, and a little off-kilter — the way the best records are.
Past collaborators include releases on Mute-adjacent labels, DIY post-punk imprints, and a long-running residency designing visuals for a Glasgow ambient night.

Let's make something
Hello.
Tell me about the record, the room, the tour. I respond within two working days — usually with too many questions.
