ABOUT US

PAPERWORKS Media is RUN by long-standing ART DIRECTOR, DESIGNER AND magazine CREATOR, Lyssa Rutherford

After more than 25 years as art director of various leading national and international publications, as well as mangaging the design and production of multiple publishing houses, spending eight years as art director of the world’s biggest-selling kitesurfing magazine (to the left), and four years as editor, creative director and publisher of her own arts and lifestyle title (below), it’s safe to say that Lyssa has an extremely thorough understanding of print publishing, and what it takes to build a brand in the publishing world. And with all that knowledge and continued passion after decades of enjoying her work in the field, she decided to create her own design, content and production agency, for print and digital publishing, working with some of the best truly tried-and-trusted professional friends she has, so that she could better manage her work and better satisfy her clients.

Ultimately, it’s Lyssa’s hugely diverse and incredibly steep experience in graphic design, in editorial and content creation – and management, and in publishing as a whole, along with her innate passion for what she does, that distinguishes PAPERWORKS Media from other agencies, and what gives our clients the distinct advantage that others don’t offer…
