Alison Cnockaert – Designer

Book Interior Designer in NYC. I love photoshop, typography, and the balance between a great serif body font and a clean sans serif display.

Overview

I am a professional book interior designer who specializes in innovative text design and typography. I have been designing books professionally for over 7 years and have worked across all genres of adult books, including both fiction and nonfiction. I enjoy working on all styles of books, from straightforward, clean novels to complex and detail-filled nonfiction titles. I particularly love working on books which allow my creativity and artistic side to shine--highly designed title pages and interesting, stylish typography are my favorite things to craft!

My book design process is all about figuring out the best package for a story--what kind of design will compliment and fit the story in order to work alongside it. I love collaborating with passionate authors and making their book dreams come true!

Alison has been fantastic to work with! She took my vision and ran with it, creating something beautiful and better than I could have hoped for with this piece. She was timely in her delivery and went above and beyond to help me in my novice state of book publication. I hope to work with her in the future!

Alison was a joy to work with. She delivered on every promise and made the pages of my book a work of art. When it came to the technical side of uploading the final material she had everything ready to go and it was so easy for me. I will work with her again in the near future.
