Designing quiet systems for loud ideas.
Joseph Yorke-Westcott is a Trinidadian-born, London-based graphic designer, musician, publisher, and RCA Visual Communication graduate.
His practice moves through Butu Magazine, self-directed music as Yorke, publishing, curation, creative direction, and collaborative visual systems.
A practice concerned with image, language, sequence, and atmosphere. Direct when it needs to speak. Poetic when it needs to stay with you.

Working across identity, editorial systems, and visual worlds.
Joseph Yorke-Westcott (b. 1998) is a Trinidadian-born, London-based graphic designer, musician and publisher. Following his graduation from the Royal College of Art (RCA), having studied Visual Communication (VisComm), he has worked alongside a number of collaborators and independently self-directed his own projects.
As the Creative Director and Editor In Chief of Butu Magazine (butumag), his work involves a combination of curation, creation and publishing, all in the effort to present fresh narratives surrounding all things creative. The magazine’s first two issues are stocked internationally, from Trinidad & Tobago to the Netherlands.
Alongside his work as a publisher, Joseph’s primary discipline is that of a musician, having self-produced, performed and released music for a number of years under the alias, “Yorke”. With the release of 2025’s “Technicolour”, Yorke displayed a complete understanding of album rollouts, with supporting video content, creative and visual direction, and robust collaboration across the entire project, all supporting his musical output. Through this project, he supported Ghais Guevara on his European tour in early 2026.
