Overview

Ciao I'm Sebastian!

I am a designer specialised in book design and branding.

Living in Vicenza, Italy – a city renowned for its beautiful books.

I've been immersed in the world of art, design, and illustration for over 25 years.

As an art director, designer, and illustrator, I've had the pleasure of working with everyone from bestselling authors to up-and-coming talents, crafting designs for everything from high-profile magazines and art catalogues to independent books.

I love bringing stories to life through visuals.

Whether it's designing a captivating book cover or creating a whole world with my illustrations, I pour my heart and soul into every project. I'm also passionate about teaching and sharing my knowledge with the next generation of designers.

My style blends classic techniques with modern technology. I pay close attention to every little detail because I believe it’s the finishing touches that make a design truly special.

I believe too many cooks spoil the broth.

So if possible, I suggest that the whole book should be made by the same designer.

That's why I offer a full range of design services, from initial ideas to the final product, and marketing if necessary.

And because I speak English, Spanish, and Italian, I can work seamlessly with clients from around the world.

I'd love to hear about your project.

Let's create a book that sells today and still be beautiful a hundred years from now.

Best,

Sebastian

As a first-time author, (The Why of Sports) it dawned on me that I would soon need a cover design for my book. Luckily I stumbled upon Reedsy then found Sebastian. I really didn't have an idea about a cover design, but had a hunch he would come up with something wonderful. Indeed, he did, showing...

Endless thanks to Sebastian for his professionalism and patience! This is my first time self-publishing and I had a specific vision in mind for the cover, add to the fact that I’m quite the perfectionist and have a tendency to notice all the little details. That said, I had a lot of requests and ...

Sebastián hit the ground running with 10 powerful drafts, any one of which I might have used. He adapted quickly to my selections and forged good directions. Drafts arrived on time, synced to the payment schedule. I am very happy with the product. A very positive experience.

Working with Sebastian on We Have to Get the Cow Off the Eis! was a creative journey full of discovery and growth. The project was complex — a humorous, illustrated, idiom-filled book that required both technical precision and artistic sensitivity — and Sebastian brought both in equal measure. W...
