Greg Mortimer – Designer

I currently work in marketing at a healthtech company, but spent the better of a decade in digital marketing at HarperCollins, Random House, and Simon & Schuster. There, I learned that a great cover design is a truly powerful marketing tool: the narrative and visual hook for the reader should be encompassed in a single composition that's bold, elegantly simple, and actually says something about the read. In marketing we look to the book's content to provide hooks for potential readers, and the same thing should be done with a good cover.

From concepting to the final product, I love working with authors to design covers that are true to the spirit of the books they've worked so hard to write, no matter the genre.I've freelance designed covers and book interiors for Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alison Lurie; the Red Hat Lama of Tibet; and the legendary choreographer Paul Taylor, among others.
