Overview

I can't even begin to express what a joy Betty was to work with. I have been working on my book for almost 5 years and we wanted the cover to be something special. Betty exceeded all of our expectations! She is both extremely talented and a very nice person - it was a lot of fun to work with her and I appreciate the patience she had with me as I tried to figure out what I wanted. I wholeheartedly recommend her - I am very grateful for the wonderful book cover and I will definitely be bringing her more work in the future.

BettyMar was a dream to work with. I liked her right off the bat so I ended the contest early so we could just work together with one on one, to complete the design with confidence. She's been amazing every step of the way; worked incredibly fast and sent me every adjustment without even a hint of irritation. She said, "It's your book, so we have to get it right," and took her time to teach me some aspects without me even having to ask. She simply recognized that I didn’t understand something in its entirety and offered clarification. This has been a beautiful experience around a project that I have worked so hard for, a novel 3 years in the making. THANK YOU BETTY!

Review by N.J. Simat

I have lots of experience designing and coming up with creative concepts for book covers for many different genres. My expert knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator allows me to move fast and efficiently throughout the process. I am easy to work with and passionate about my work. This is what I love to do so I put everything into it. Hire me for a one-to-one project, save money and I will handle your project with professionalism and creativity.

Successful design is design that achieves the intended results. Toward this end, I use my creativity and technical abilities to articulate a solution that achieves the business goals and customers’ needs. I have successfully designed a broad range projects including banner ads, landing pages, websites, print ads, brochures, catalogs, logos and more.

Along with tenures at companies like Toys "R" Us and Scholastic, Inc. my experience spans a broad range of industries, including insurance, financial, consumer packaged goods and children’s products & education. Some client companies include: MetLife, Marriott, GE, HBO, Cadbury Schweppes, Georgia-Pacific, Beiersdorf, Pitney Bowes, Carter's, Weekly Reader and Benchmark Education.

I studied at Pratt Institute in NYC earning a Masters Degree in Communications Design.

Betty went above and beyond to be attentive and helpful. She’s a lovely person and I loved working with her. She is The Best!

Betty Breuhaus, June 2022

Betty could not have been better to work with! She flat out nailed every detail that I sent her and maintained her pleasant vibe after many additional changes. I will definitely hire her again for future books as I could not have had a better experience. Thanks for putting the final touches on my book Betty!

Jonathan Roche, May 2022

Betty was very helpful at all times, responded promptly to all my questions, and helped me greatly in getting my first book done. She was more than worth the fee.

Michael Deshotels, May 2022

If I could give Betty 6 stars, I would. I'd give her 100. She was so sweet and you can tell she genuinely cares about your work. As a first-time author, she walked me through everything and was patient with my hundreds of questions and worries. She turned the ideas and dreams in my head into a reality and more. The work Betty does is beautiful. She takes the time to understand your story, its i...

Cassandra Thatcher, May 2022

Betty continues to go above and beyond. I, unfortunately, have been faced with multiple challenges on my road to publication. Betty has consistently provided guidance, support, and a willingness to jump in and do what needs to be done. She is a true team player with the project's best interest in the forefront of her mind. I've already re-hired her and will do so again!
