Overview

I have been a graphic designer for many years creating annual reports, corporate identity, and collateral pieces, but it is book design that is my true passion. I relish the prospect of selecting and kerning type for readability, as well as designing a layout and cover that makes one want to pick it up. I love working with authors and “book people.” I listen closely to what they want to say with their volume then execute something that will satisfy or exceed both of our expectations.
