Architects’ Journal
From 2009 to 2016, my team and I designed over 350 issues of AJ, mostly in print, but also in digital editions. I managed bespoke publications for Hopkins Architects, V&A and Westfield – that were issued with the magazine. Also designed were small to medium scale exhibitions for AJ Small Projects, Kiosk and Sinan at New London Architecture, and in Bologna, Italy.Case study details
