David Miles – Designer

Hi there! I'm a Publishers Weekly Rising Star Honoree and have designed for New York Times #1 bestselling authors, publishers, CEOs, + more!

Overview

I love books! I've designed books for New York Times #1 bestselling authors, publishing houses, CEOs, nonprofits, new authors, and more! I'm also the author/illustrator of over 40 titles with 100,000+ copies sold. On top of that, I've worked as a publishing director and creative director for one of the country's fastest growing publishers. That means in addition to providing beautiful design, I can help answer questions you might have about printing, pricing, distribution, marketing, and more. It's like getting both a designer and publishing consultant for the price of one!

I'm over the moon happy with the interior book design David created for my memoir The Home for Friendless Children. David captured the haunting, a little bit quirky, and yet hopeful feeling of the story perfectly! Seriously, I'm absolutely thrilled with his work. Perfection. Thank you so much David!

David is great. He designed covers and packaging for our project (on a tight timeline as well). He created beautiful and functional designs and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. Our project is better because of David.
