Overview
I'm a graphic designer, focusing mainly on book covers and editorial illustration. With experience working for multiple publishing houses as well as major magazines and newspapers, I'm well-versed in meeting the needs of authors, publishers, editors, and consumers.Conceptual thinking is my specialty, and I'm never married to one particular medium. Collage, painting, photography, lettering, or something I've never even tried before—whatever treatment is best suited to the narrative, that's what your book deserves. I aim to make evocative, unexpected covers that will jump at you off the shelf—or out from a row of Amazon thumbnails!
