Book Cover Designer, Hobbyist Photographer, Daydreamer

Joanne is based in a cloudy town within Suffolk, UK where she is concocting her next design project while lamenting about the weather. 

With a primary interest in cover design, she strives to become an in-house designer in publishing. This goal has become feasible after securing places on Creative Access’s mentorship programme with Penguin Random House, and HarperCollins Design Academy. She has also been on portfolio initiatives through Faber and Penguin. As of now, she is enjoying adding more skills to her repertoire by volunteering for editorial projects, freelancing as a Book Cover Designer and seeking advice through DPI mentor, Jon Gray.
