Overview
Hi, I’m Ryan. Thanks for stopping by and congratulations on getting this far with your book! No matter what stage you are in the process, creating a story is no small feat and I would love to help you bring it to life and make the publishing process smooth and hassle free.
I have been a graphic designer for over fifteen years and for the last five I have specialised exclusively in children’s books. In that time I have worked on more than one hundred titles for authors around the world, including books that have gone on to win numerous awards including the Readers’ Favorite Book Awards and the International Impact Book Awards. My partner is a children's illustrator and together we form a small creative duo that understands children’s publishing from both the artistic and the technical sides.
I design full interiors and covers for picture books, chapter books, and illustrated stories. This includes cover design, title treatment, interior layout, typesetting, end pages, pattern pages, eBook formatting, and 3D mockups. I am equally comfortable working from your illustrator’s final artwork or helping review thumbnails, sequencing, and early sketches to make sure the structure of your book feels strong before we start building pages.
My focus is always on clarity, storytelling, and a smooth reading experience. Every page is designed with care, balancing text, illustration, and visual flow. All fonts used are fully licensed and chosen for the specific tone and audience of your book. I also prepare everything for whichever platform you plan to publish on, including KDP, IngramSpark, Lulu, and others, with fully upload ready files for both print and digital editions.
One thing many of my clients appreciate is how collaborative the process feels. I never set limits on reasonable revisions. If something needs refining, or you want to explore another approach, I am here to help shape the book until it feels right. I bring a calm, thoughtful approach to every project, and authors often tell me they feel understood and supported throughout the journey.
I have experience working with bilingual and foreign language books, as well as projects that require cultural sensitivity or careful handling of delicate topics. My goal is to guide you through the process with clear communication and a steady hand so you always feel in control of your book.
If you have a story you are ready to bring into the world, I would love to hear about it. Feel free to share your ideas or ask any questions about the design process. I am always happy to talk through possibilities and help you take the next step with confidence.
