Laura Elsenraat – Designer

I am a graphic designer and art director with 20+ years designing gift product, 4 of those years designing gift books for Hallmark Cards.

Overview

In my 20+ years as a designer and art director for Hallmark Cards, I have worked on books, puzzles, calendars, gift products, party ware and greeting cards. Designing covers and interiors for books is definitely my passion; I love collaborating with writers and editors to bring great writing and content to life in a beautifully designed book. I have designed gift books in the baby/kid category, and for adults in categories such as encouragement, birthday, inspiration/appreciation, faith and just-for-fun.

I am a highly conceptual thinker and have had years of experience designing unique formats and utilizing compelling materials and processes to make a book shine. I can help you create that "wow" factor needed to set your book apart from the rest! Whether it's the cover or the entire book, I can handle your design project from start to finish.
