Rebecca is a skilled and confident typesetter, with a keen eye for detail and an exciting approach to design. I worked closely with Rebecca throughout her time at Walker, where she typeset the majority of my fiction projects and always took great care to make them beautiful and commercially successful books. Together we also managed the UK publishing of Walker’s MIT imprint. I was always impressed by her passion and enthusiasm for every project, and her calm in the face of tight deadlines.

I had the pleasure of working with Rebecca at BRF. She’s a brilliant person to have on a creative team. Rebecca is a talented illustrator and graphic designer with a real passion for book design. She works hard to understand a brief properly – asking thoughtful questions, really listening, and making sure the direction of her work supports the project. She’s responsive to feedback and always approaches it positively, refining and strengthening her ideas to get the best possible result. Alongside her creativity and professionalism, Rebecca is great fun to work with. She brings energy, warmth and a collaborative spirt to the process, which makes projects all the more enjoyable. I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, skilled illustrator or designer.
