Five years ago I joined a data journalism team based in Manchester.
I am very glad I was given the opportunity to challenge my self with very short deadlines and with complex spreadsheets. It also meant I could work combining my illustration and communication skills, in order to speak through images to the reader and to make numbers and statistics understandable to a large audience.
The following pages are a selection of the hundreds of daily print pages I've worked on during the last two years at Reach plc (former Trinity Mirror). They are data-lead stories published every day on regional titles across the UK. These include The Chronicle, Manchester Evening News, Bristol Post, Liverpool Eco, Birmingham Mail and many others.I am very glad I was given the opportunity to challenge my self with very short deadlines and with complex spreadsheets.

Thanks to some of these print pages I have been shortlisted for Designer of the Year at the Regional Press Awards for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019 and, as a team, we have won the prestigious International Print Innovation of the year at Newsawards 2018.
