Overview

**** CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE TO TAKE ON NEW COMMISSIONS UNTIL FEBRUARY 2026****

“Good design is like a refrigerator—when it works, no one notices, but when it doesn’t, it sure stinks.”

— Irene Au

The cover is your books’ shop window. I meld craft and technology to create cover designs that are engaging and memorable — typesetting & page layout designs that deliver an enjoyable and enhanced reading experience.

I'm a New Yorker living and working in the scenic Berwickshire Coast area of Scotland. I have 30 years professional experience designing cover artwork for publishers world-wide. I design interiors for both fiction and non-fiction books and have also worked on several dual-language publications.

Recent award winning publications:

Old Ireland in Colour — Winner of the Best Irish Published Book Award 2020.

The Presidents' Letters — Shortlisted for the Best Irish Published Book Award 2021.

For both of these titles I designed the covers as well as the interior pages (see examples below)

As a professional book designer I will bring:

• Skilfulness to unravel a brief to find key creative concepts

• Impactful and dynamic design solutions

• Swift response to amendments and alterations

• Expert technical knowledge of printing guidelines and POD requirements

• Friendly, responsive and creative service throughout the entire process

• Help and guidance for all your self publishing questions

This was an amazing collaboration and I look forward to working with this designer in the future. There were several things we had to hash out and it was great to be understood as I bring my novel to market. We were able to finalize a gorgeous product ultimately.

Working with Latte was an absolute pleasure. I'm a first-time self-published author and he was helpful and patient throughout the process. I couldn't be more pleased with how the work turned out and will definitely use him for future projects.
