Overview
I'm a seasoned creative professional with over 5 years of experience in the world of publishing, having roles in book development as a Production Artist, Graphic Designer, and Art Director. My passion lies in crafting captivating book designs, drawing upon a diverse skill set encompassing design, artistry, and writing.
For the past 4 years, I've concentrated on titles within the Self-Help, Spirituality, and Health genres during my tenure at Sounds True Publishing, a prominent small publisher. While I specialize in these areas, I have expanded to working on larger coffee table books, children's literature, poetry, and art books.
I bring valuable experience in assisting authors with the upload process to platforms like Amazon KDP, ensuring a seamless transition from concept to publication.
As a freelancer, I am dedicated to bringing your story to life. If you're seeking a seasoned and adaptable book designer, I'd be thrilled to collaborate with you. Let's connect and explore how I can help you bring your book to readers!
