Overview
I'm Sarah, a senior book designer who spent the last decade designing book covers and interiors (and drinking many-a-cup of tea) for an indie publishing company in Montana.
In 2023, the company sold to a major east coast publisher and now I'm thrilled to work directly with authors.
I love working with creative types—authors like you—because it allows me to push boundaries and explore areas of design to inspire the artist in all of us.
My work embraces the simplicity of negative space and the use of color, texture, and imagery. I’m fueled by the art on my walls, the pages of my books, and photos from my travels.
I blend the creative elements of design with the strategic elements of marketing in order to translate each project's goals into a refined book. My process is streamlined by the creative flow and punctuality. My clients appreciate that I'm efficient with my time, quick to respond, and work to exceed expectations.
When I’m not pushing pixels, I can be found spending time in the great outdoors with my husband and daughter, restoring our 19th century fixer-upper, or snuggled up with a good book.
A self-proclaimed work-from-homebody, I design from my little home office in a town nestled between the mountains in Montana.

Please provide me with manuscript word count, number of photos/graphics, and whether your book includes an index, bibliography, footnotes or endnotes. Please also include the word count on these items.
Serious inquiries only, please!
