Matt Drew

A highly experienced and dedicated designer with a limitless passion for illustrated books.

With over 20 years in the publishing industry, I’ve seen it all and can tackle any project no matter how complicated or demanding. I have extensive experience in all aspects of book design, specialising in highly illustrated children’s books. My comprehensive design skills include developing and designing outstanding, engaging books – from beautifully illustrated picture books, encyclopaedias, activity books and non-fiction b-formats, to mass-market gaming and hobby titles, across all genres, subjects and ages.

I also have an impressive technical background, including, but not limited to: scripting, batch processing, optimisation and a deep understanding of the production process and file setup.
