I am a graphic designer for the arts, education and built environment, with a research focus on publishing practices and the form of the book. I am currently art editor for the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Journal.

Since 2014 I have been a Senior Lecturer on the BA Graphic Design course at Kingston University where I lead a publishing pathway and a dissertation publication design project for the final year students.

Byrne of Mackinnon Byrne, I have a BA Graphic and Media Design degree from the London College of Printing (now LCC), and an MA in Book Design from the Reading University. I am also a member of the London Centre for Book Arts.
