Overview
I am a Freelance Senior Book Designer with over ten years experience having previously worked in-house at Harpercollins Publishers Australia. I love working across all genres and have a range of experience designing covers and internals for fiction, non-fiction, illustrated books, YA and children's picture books. At the 2018 Australian Book Design Awards, I won Emerging Designer of the Year and in 2019, I won Book of the Year for my design for the cover of The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart. I adore working with authors to create a cover of their dreams and I am always up for a challenge!
