In the summer of 2024, I had the opportunity to move  to Marseille for a few months, and join the team at  Loose Joints and Ensemble Books. Loose Joints is  a multi-award-winning independent publishing house  based between Marseille and London, founded by  Sarah Chaplin Espenon and Lewis Chaplin.

As a studio assistant, I got to colla­borate closely with  the team on a range of contemporary publishing and photo­graphy projects. My role involved supporting the studio with various tasks, from designing social media and promotional assets to concept development and layout design. With all design, editing and production done in-house, it allowed me to refine my design abilities and gain valuable insights into the printing and production process, including knowledge of materials, binding options, and paper selection. 

In the course of three months, I had the opportunity to  work on the following projects: Loose Joints 2014–2024 : Celebrating a decade of publishing contemporary photo­graphy, the 10 year anniversary publication of Loose Joints as well as their accom­panying exhibition; Caspian by Kashayer Javanmardi, Office / LA Office by Lars Tünbjörk, Shadow Cast by Pacifico Silano (Release: November 2024), and more to be announced in 2025.
