Lyssandra Rutherford: Brighton-based Graphic Designer,
Art Director and Creative Project Manager,
with over two decades of in-the-field experience
A photo I shot for a fashion story in Pretty Litter Magazine, on Brighton Pier.
My job is head creative and overseer of creative projects, whether it’s a photo shoot, launching a new magazine title, or a company brand overhaul. I take business and creative ideas, and either as sole creative or by curating a specific team for the job, I make them a distinct, leading and engaging reality, on brief, to deadline and always with striking results. With over twelve years as an Art Director and Creative Project Manager in international print publishing and branding, I am confident in producing exemplary results on any project, no matter how big or small.
Specialising in design, writing and photography for websites, magazines and brochures, and more recently branding, PR and marketing for businesses and brands, I have all of that completely covered. But when it comes to pulling in great talent for other areas of work or larger projects I have an excellent pool of top-level creatives at my fingertips. Having published and run a high-end publication, Pretty Litter Magazine, for four years, and art directed another, Kiteworld Magazine for eight years, in one of the most important creative centres in the UK (Brighton), this enabled me to grow an outstanding network of associates, and to count world-class photographers, illustrators and other creative specialists as my trusted professional friends. I work with these people on a regular basis and much of the work you’ll see on this site is the collective efforts of my extended team.

This is the best the magazine has looked in all the years I’ve been here”
