Jonathan Hällmayer – Designer

Experienced communication designer driven by a profound love for literature. I’m here to help bring your stories to life. Let’s do this.

Overview

I have been working as a designer for more than 15 years. After studying communication design in Munich and receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in London I continued to lead my own companies as both managing partner and owner. I am currently based in Munich and speak both English and German fluently.


As a book designer, I understand the intricate dance between bold typography, minimal design principles, and colourful imagery that results in visually stunning and immersive reading experiences. Whether you’re an established author or a debut writer, I tailor my designs to match the tone and essence of your narrative, ensuring that every page resonates with your unique voice. From captivating and colourful minimalistic cover designs to meticulously crafted layouts that optimise for readability, I offer a blend of creativity and expertise.


Let me transform your manuscript into an exceptional piece that captivates readers and leaves an indelible mark. Your story deserves nothing less than the best presentation, and I'm here to make that a reality.



Since I’m rather new to the platform and currently looking to expand my portfolio, I'm willing to offer heavy discounts for Cover Designs!
