Matthew Young - Web Developer

I have been a freelance graphic designer, art director, editor, and author for more than 30 years, with clients ranging from individuals to publishers, corporations, non-profits, and agencies. I provide a full range of website and book design, and I can provide editorial advice. The collaborative process makes it all come together.

I welcome projects that include both book and website design, as I did for author Hotse Langeraar's historical novel "Capuche" (see project feature below).

Having published two books of my own, I know first-hand the complexities of writing and marketing one's own book. In my freelance capacity, I have also designed and edited for Oak Knoll Books and Press for many years, and I have conducted and edited author interviews for their website and YouTube channel. From 2015-2020, I managed their publishing and distribution programs.

Clients over the years have included authors, artists, nonprofits, and small businesses. If you have a project you'd like to discuss, please get in touch!
