I love books. As a book designer, my passion is creating covers that earn their place on readers' shelves.

Christian did a great job of designing our project! He was able to narrow down a look we resonated with very quickly, and was patient with us. This was our first project, and he was a great fit to help us navigate the complexity of design in self-publishing.
