Intermingling memoir with literary criticism, philosophy and sociology, A Physical Education is a highly original examination of the uses and abuses of power in the education system. It explores how bullying and discipline function, how they differ from each other, and how they all-too-often overlap.
The book cover uses the author’s own childhood imagery to suggest the fragmentation and pain that occurs when bullies target an individual.

Written by prominent feminist scholars from around the world, This Is Not A Feminism Textbook offers a clear, straightforward overview of key feminist debates and concerns ranging from motherhood, home, work and family to media, technology, and medicine. It is engaging and accessible, distilling the highest level of knowledge into fascinating but concise entries.
I was brought on board to clean up and standardise initial designs, tailoring what had been created to what the authors had provided. The series style developed under my art direction: a little-bit-punk with a rough-and-ready, old school, photo-copied aesthetic — that still maintained a clear and accessible hierarchy of information.

Body Music looks at visceral engagement of the body in musical performance, and thinks about how technological mediation can foster, or might break, forms of audience empathy.
The artist uses muscle sensors that respond to movement in the body to create his sonic pieces. The cover draws on the muscle layers, the movement of blood and the heightened emotion one experiences when playing or listening to music.

Goldsmith Press’s PERC series seeks to refresh political economy, in the original sense of the term, as a pluralist and critical approach to the study of capitalism. In doing so it challenges the sense of economics as a discipline, separate from the other social sciences, aiming instead to combine economic knowledge with various other disciplinary approaches.
The cover design connects the volatility of economic systems with the social unrest that leads to street riots and broken shop windows.

The Spatial Politics Series is an inventive interdisciplinary series of books examining spatial politics at various geographical and critical scales—from the domestic to the neighbourhood to the global.
The book cover uses imagery from makeshift pharmacies set-up on the ground for protesters during long-term demonstrations in Greece. The colour palette evokes the bright, contrasting hues of medical capsules.
