Sarah Rebtine – Designer

Passionate lettering artist, dreamy illustrator with a vision and graphic designer from the heart. Would love to design christian books.

Overview

I’m a full-time graphic designer with a love for book covers and experience designing special editions for internationally known book subscription boxes as well as directly working with various authors on multiple projects from book covers, dust jackets, slipcases, to hardcover foil designs, endpapers, edge designs, promotional content, merch designs and quote lettering cards. I love weaving deep meaning and adding well though out details into swiftly eye-catching designs that I create with custom lettering and hand drawn illustrations. Some of the clients I have worked with include The Bookish Box, Owlcrate, Book Beau, The Washington Post – The Lily, author Erin Bowman, Ciannon Smart, Jasmine Walt, christian singer-songwriter Jess Ray, Holy Ghost Record Club and numerous churches amongst others. I am looking to design covers for books in new categories: Christian Fiction and Non Fiction, Poetry, Classics, Young Adult, Home & Garden, Nature, Biographies & Memoirs.

I am not accepting any requests for book projects, if the book includes explicit scenes or magic (exception for Christian Fantasy books).

I am also available for chapter illustrations, chapter headers, title pages, endpapers, portrait illustrations and quotes for the book interior.

I am not available for full book interior design at the moment.
