Personal Learning Coaching User Guide
Personal Learning Coaching is a CD-ROM and web-based learning programme that aims to encourage people to become learning mentors for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds aiming to continue in education after the age of 16. I designed and produced the users' guide and packaging for this product, to enable prospective mentors with little experience of IT to get the software up and running.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: London Charity Gala Screening souvenir programme
One of my last jobs at One Parent Families was to design and produce this souvenir programme for the charity screening of the first Harry Potter film at the Odeon Kensington on 7 November 2001.
As well as looking extremely nice, the programme was written, edited, designed, produced and printed in just over two weeks, which was quite an achievement as I had to get approvals from Warner Bros. at every stage.
