"A recent design I’m really happy with is The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley, an incredible new talent. I wanted to create a new look for this new voice and it is such an imaginative novel, I wasn’t short of inspiration. For some titles I like to think of the book as an object rather than a two-dimensional plane, and this was the case here, with a die-cut cover that you just have to open. "
