Senior Publication Designer for Annual Reports and Investor Documents

I specialise in editorial and publication design for corporate and institutional clients — with a particular focus on annual reports, investor-facing documents, and long-form publications for listed companies and financial services organisations. With over 15 years of experience, I build design systems that bring clarity, hierarchy, and credibility to complex content. Accuracy and structure matter as much as aesthetics — especially when documents are regulatory, investor-facing, or brand-critical. Most clients bring me in when content has outgrown piecemeal design. I step into complex projects and create visual frameworks that hold — across print, digital, and future updates. What I do: • Annual reports and integrated reporting for listed and institutional clients • Investor relations documents, prospectuses, and financial publications • Editorial design for reports, white papers, and long-form corporate publications • Design systems for consistency across print and digital • UX-focused layout for content-heavy websites and digital products I work primarily in Adobe InDesign and deliver print-ready and web-optimised files. I maintain a 100% Job Success Score, and 94% of my clients return for ongoing work. If your publication needs to communicate credibility, clarity, and authority — I'd be happy to discuss your project.
