Overview
I'm a book and marketing designer with over 10 years of industry-specific experience. I work with authors and publishers, helping them develop book covers and brand-based marketing goods. I take pride in the fact that people do judge a book by it's cover, it has a direct influence on sales!
When my nose isn't stuck in a book I design corporate reports, posters, advertising campaigns, and other marketing materials that help content creators connect with their target audience. Whether you need help with a print project or a digital design solution, you're in the right place. With a decade of design experience to draw on, my specialty is providing creative solutions that involve the careful balancing of imagination, risk, and practicality.
