Overview
My background as a book cover designer and art director at Penguin Random House, Simon and Schuster, and Harper Collins gives me the experience and understanding of what's needed to create a stunning book cover design that will stand out in a crowded marketplace.
My clients appreciate the support I give them as they navigate the world of self-publishing, including the marketing and publishing of their books.
I am proud to have helped a wide variety of authors create and grow platforms, businesses, or fulfill their dream of getting their story out into the world.
