Overview
With over 20 years of experience, I’ve designed books for major international publishers, indie authors, and small presses. I’ve worked across every genre—cookbooks, photography, thrillers, self-help, sci-fi, memoirs, children's books, and more. My favorites are large-format, photography-driven projects that require creativity and precision.
I’m fluent in all aspects of book design, from concept development to press checks, ePubs, and audio books. My industry knowledge helps indie authors navigate platforms like KDP and Ingram while allowing me to seamlessly collaborate with major publishers.
I’ve traveled extensively, bringing a global perspective to my work. Designing a book is storytelling, and a great design keeps readers engaged and reflects the book’s heart and soul. A well-designed book is key to its success, and I’m excited to bring your vision to life.
I have worked for clients ranging from major publishers like Penguin Random House, Macmillan, Hachette, HarperCollins, dozens of University Presses, and successful self-published authors.
