Juliane Van Huizen – Designer

Book cover designer balancing thoughtful type, layered textures, and compelling imagery to create covers that get to the heart of a story.

Overview

I'm a graphic designer based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I've been a jill-of-all-trades print designer for the past 15 years, with a recent focus on book cover design.

I aim to balance thoughtful type, layered textures, and compelling imagery to create covers that get to the heart of a story.

Books and stories have been a defining pillar of my life, and I'm quite certain they are the best tool we have for understanding one another. Long before I was a designer, I was a reader, scribbling doodles in the margins of my overdue library books. I now save the doodling for my design work, but my books are still overdue (sorry!).

When I'm not hunched over my computer, I'm thrifting, reading, or acting as an alpha reader for my ten year old's latest comic book (he just launched Cucumber Kid issue 1 volume 1).

I'd love to talk books with you.

Work experience

Self-employed

Mar, 2019 — Present
I’m an accomplished graphic designer based in Canada, with over 15 years of experience, during which I have built a strong foundation in visual storytelling. Most recently, as freelance cover designer, I have designed book covers for independent Canadian publishers, working directly with editors across a range of genres. My cover designs are rich in texture, thoughtful typography and layered imagery. I've also developed brand identities, and created promotional materials and merchandise for non-profits and small businesses.
