Overview
As a visual communication designer, who absolutely love design and all things design related, my main aim is to create a unique book cover that suits your story and your target audience, but also visually stand out on the shelf and online. I like to focus on the perfection of all the visual elements and the right balance between familiar and innovative ideas to give potential readers a clear idea of your work, and to present your book as a truly unique object.
My style is energetic and minimalist, paying great attention to all the visual components of colour, typography, layout, and composition to capture people’s curiosity. I like to keep it simple and playful.
My work has been featured on étapes Paris, Creativebloq, Ello, KK Outlet London, Creativepool, Nineteen Seventy Three, Morning Edit, Questioning Creatives, Web Design Ledger, The Loop, Central Station.
