What My Clients Say

“Marie designed Decathlon’s first catalogue for schools in the UK which has been sent to 14,000 schools in all of the United Kingdom.

I really enjoyed working with Marie. It was a pleasure to collaborate with someone extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

The design of the brochure is amazing, and several Decathlon stores in other countries have started to use the same design for their catalogues.”

NHS Annual Report

120 Pages – Print & Interactive PDF

The NHS Barking & Dagenham Primary Care Trust, in partnership with the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham, commissioned me at short notice to design and oversee print production for a substantial annual report. The 120-page document featured complex content, including numerous tables and infographics, a text-linked glossary and an extensive system of footnotes.

Following a setback with a previous designer, they were faced with a tight timeline. I delivered the print files and hyperlinked PDF within one week, ensuring all requirements were met to a high standard.

The brief specified a restrained use of photos, with the cover imagery reflecting diversity. The final design balanced accessibility and visual cohesion, and was met with great satisfaction by all stakeholders.
