Giorgia Chiarion – Designer

☞ Distinctive book design that captivates and connects

With over 10 years of experience designing for leading global publishers—including Penguin Random House, Hachette, DK, and Wonderbly—I now partner directly with authors to create bold, high-quality designs tailored to each book’s unique vision and target audience.

☞ Covers and layouts that stand out

My process begins by understanding your story, your goals, and your ideal readers. I start by building mood boards to lock in a visual direction before diving into typography and artwork. Whether sourcing distinctive typefaces or crafting bespoke hand-lettering (as featured in my gallery), I bring strong craftsmanship to every project. I’m always delighted to create custom illustrations and layouts for both your book cover and interior pages.

☞ Visual storytelling at the heart of design

Whether sourcing royalty-free stock imagery, commissioning custom assets, or creating bespoke illustrations across a wide range of styles, I am a highly resourceful and versatile image-maker. My background in personalised publishing—backed by a BA (Hons) in Illustration from Kingston University London—has honed my ability to adapt to diverse aesthetics while maintaining exceptional quality and visual cohesion.

Past Client Feedback ★★★★★

"I was delighted that Giorgia agreed to design my book. She created a clear, stage-by-stage schedule that worked perfectly for both of us. We began by discussing the novel's themes, and Giorgia sent me inspiring mood boards to map out the direction. From there, she presented several design possibilities—all of which were tempting! She delivered a Kindle e-version alongside paperback and hardback covers, and I've received countless compliments on the design. Everyone says, 'What a lovely cover,' and other writers have greatly admired it. The entire process was professional, enjoyable, and deeply collaborative. I would highly recommend Giorgia and would definitely work with her again." — Stephanie Norgate, author of Hartisborne
