Overview
I am a creative professional with a passion for book design and a diverse set of skills in design, art, and writing. With years of experience in the publishing industry as a Production Artist, Graphic Designer, and Art Director, I specialize in creating visually stunning and meaningful book designs.
My love for storytelling drives me to approach each project as an opportunity to tell a unique and compelling narrative.
For the past 4 years I have focused on titles in the Self-Help, Spirituality, and Health genres as I worked at Sounds True Publishing, a Self-Help & Spirituality publisher. I specialize in designing those sorts of titles (and have experience with larger coffee tables books and children's books) but am also open to branching out and designing fiction, art, and everything else!
As a freelancer, I am committed to leveraging my diverse creative skills to support your vision. So if you're looking for a versatile and highly skilled book designer, I would love to help you. Let's discuss how I can help you bring your book to life!
