Susi Martin, Art Director, Quarto Kids, Words & Pictures Books
I am an experienced creative graphic designer. I love books: children's books, adult non-fiction, photographic, humorous and gift books... You name it, I've designed it!
My expertise and experience ranges from art direction to art working: working independently or in collaboration with other designers, illustrators and art directors and using all the latest design software: Adobe Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.
I have worked on many bestselling children’s book series, such as Dorling Kindersley’s,‘My Encyclopedia of Very Important... Dinosaurs’ and Blue Peter Award runner up,‘The Ultimate Book of Randomly Awesome Facts’ by Scholastic Publishing.
When I'm not at my computer I love doodling, baking bread, immersing myself in greenery, be it by foot or on bike; playing board games or getting swept away in a really good book.
"I really enjoyed working with you... you are by far the most professional, adaptable, easy to work with designer I've ever had the pleasure of collaborating with. I will definitely be working with you more in the future."
