Evelina Garliauskiene – Designer

30 years crafting elegance in book design. Poetry to thesis, words & visuals in perfect harmony. Less is more, like a captivating story.

Overview

Three Decades of Design: From Textbooks to Thrillers: For over 30 years, I've been the secret weapon of authors and publishers. Why? Because (truth be told) people do judge a book by its cover, and a captivating one can make all the difference (sales-wise, that is!). My experience as Art Director at the Kaunas University of Technology Publishing House instilled in me a deep understanding of academic publishing and the unique design needs of technical and scientific content. But my design expertise extends beyond the bookshelf. When I'm not whispering cover concepts to authors, I craft brand-aligned marketing materials – think corporate reports with a touch of personality, posters that grab attention, and advertising that connects with your target audience.


Balancing Bold & Brilliant: Need a design that pops, whether it's print or digital? That's my jam! My superpower? Transforming imagination and a dash of "what if?" into creative solutions that are both innovative and practical.


Classic or Cutting-Edge? You Decide: Whether you crave a timeless design or something a touch more daring, I'm your partner in bringing your vision to life.


Double Duty Done Right: Working with authors to craft their perfect book is a joy, and collaborating with brands on diverse design needs (print,layout, you name it) keeps things exciting as a freelance designer.
