Design, editing and publications

People and Partnerships is the result of a year-long project to capture the human impact of Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) in Sri Lanka over the last 20 years.

VSO had worked in Sri Lanka since the 1960s and closed in March 2014. Following the end of a 30-year conflict in 2009, the country has changed classification from ‘developing’ to ‘middle income’ and VSO decided to focus its resources elsewhere in the world.

I managed this project from the start, selecting participants, editing submissions, conducting interviews, writing case studies, and commissioning photography. I was also responsible for all layout and design, which follows VSO International’s brand guidelines, as well as the pre-press work and printer relationship.
