Ryan Mulford – Designer

You've come to the right place :) I am a professional book cover designer in Northern California, helping authors realize their vision.

Overview

Hi there! My name is Ryan, and I am a professional designer with over 15 years of experience working for top advertising agencies. I have designed for a wide range of projects, but my true passion is book cover design. As a book lover myself, I understand how important it is for authors to have a cover that accurately reflects their story and appeals to their target audience.


My diverse design background allows me to create unique and effective book covers that stand out. I work closely with authors to understand their vision and ensure that the final design captures the essence of their book. I treat every project with the same care and attention to detail that you would receive from a major publishing house, and I won't stop until you are completely satisfied with the end result.


If you have a book in need of a stunning cover, please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss your project. I would love to help bring your vision to life and create a cover that will entice readers to pick up your book for the first time. It's a fun and collaborative process, and I am dedicated to delivering the best possible results for my clients.

WOW! What a find Ryan was, and I couldn't be any happier with my decision in hiring him than I am. Ryan understood my story so well and so quickly that he only needed to submit one cover design for me to know it was the right one, and in only a week! In addition, his work on the interior layout and font matched the cover in expression. As a novice to self-publishing, this was my debut novel, I ...

As a first-time author, I had no idea how the publishing process works. I just focused on writing “My Prosthetic Life, A Memoir”, and decided to worry about each phase as it arose. Other authors suggested having the cover design done professionally. Off to Reedsy I went! I chose Ryan Mulford after requesting and receiving three different quotes for cover and interior design. He was professional...

I could not be more delighted with the cover that Ryan designed for my book. The entire experience was fantastic - he started by soliciting my feedback on a bunch of different covers so he could get a feel for what I was looking for, and we worked closely to iterate and fine tune once we had a plan in place. He was extremely responsive and quick on turnarounds, and he was patient with my questi...
