Paige Graff – Designer

Book designer with publishing experience; strong skillset in formatting complex interior layouts with multi-level hierarchy to organize copy

Overview

Hi, I'm Paige! I'm a creative professional who is passionate about translating the tone of an author's writing into unique, clean, and expressive designs. My goal as a book designer is to create a visual world to enhance the reading experience for your audience. I do this by utilizing the page’s layout and composition, making thoughtful type choices, applying color theory, and choosing engaging imagery, when applicable.

My work experience consists of designing highly-visual book interiors for a range of genres, most notably, cookbooks, guidebooks, and other adult and children's non-fiction. I enjoy working on non-fiction books with highly structured interiors, where I get to establish multi-level systems of hierarchy to organize the copy of a book. Oftentimes, books like those will also have accompanying stock art or a work-for-hire illustrator's work, which I can source for the client at hand.

I am a clear communicator and an organized individual. With my industry experience, I am used to managing multiple projects at once, working alongside editors and illustrators, and preparing files for production. I will work with you to create the most engaging interior for your book.

Work experience

Quirk Books

Jan, 2022 — Nov, 2025 (almost 4 years)
Worked on a team of designers in collaboration with editors, production, and marketing to design unique and exciting book covers and interiors for 5-7 titles a year. Books I’ve designed range from non-fiction gift books, cookbooks, fiction novels, guided journals, and children’s picture and board books. I often sourced stock art, art-directed a for-hire illustrator, or illustrated elements myself, depending on the book.
