Maddi is a book and print designer whose practice is rooted in the craft, structure, and materiality of the printed page. Her work is led by a strong typographic sensibility and a commitment to process—exploring the tactile potential of print through letterpress, bookbinding, and hands-on making. She creates thoughtful, concept-driven pieces that are precise, enduring, and built with care.

With an MA in Book Design from the University of Reading, Maddi brings a deep understanding of typographic systems and editorial structure to her work, treating the book as both a functional object and a space for visual and material exploration. Alongside her independent practice, she has worked across editorial design, brand identity, accessibility-focused communication, and international catalogue production—bringing creative depth and practical rigour to every project. She is also a member of the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers, and is dedicated to meaningful, well-crafted design that honours the traditions of print while looking to its future.

An experiential publication exploring ecological crisis and mass extinction through a tactile, destructible book format. Using a french fold structure, the design requires the reader to physically tear through images of endangered species to access the content—mirroring the human impact at the core of the issue. A conceptual piece combining editorial design with material storytelling.
