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...

Ryan is professional, friendly, and highly communicative. He took the time to understand my vision for the cover, and I could not be happier with what he delivered. Moreover, Ryan was very flexible with making some minor adjustments after the project ended to match my final page count. Highly recommended!
