Michelle Fairbanks – Designer

Simple, clean, beautiful book covers. With 20+ yrs design experience, I help authors enjoy this part of the process!

Overview

With over 20 years experience, I aim to keep my designs fresh ... simple, clean + beautiful. I pride myself on being easy to work with, and for my clients to enjoy the process. Raised on Vancouver Island, it is easy to be inspired by the beauty of the ocean and forest that surround me. I feel grateful to live on the Island and be in nature on a daily basis with my family! Specializing in book cover design, I provide my clients with unique, genre specific covers. Feel free to message me to chat about your upcoming project!
