Shirley Tran – Designer

Book and Marketing designer with over 7 years experience in a range of genres

Overview

I'm a Book and Marketing Designer, where my work ranges from designing marketing materials and animations for books to designing covers and internals of a book.

I have experience in a range of genres and enjoy working on all genres from fiction to non-fiction with a particular interest in illustrated books / children's books. I am a creative that is meticulous with high attention to details and know the importance of being thorough and thoughtful when translating a brief into the most visually suitable and appealing cover.

I am also incredibly experienced in marketing design. I am able to help a book translate into the market with strong, aesthetically pleasing and eye catching marketing collateral to further push the book to its audience. This includes print ads, web banners, EDMs, social media assets and animations.

I love to collaborate and would love to create beautiful designs, bringing authors words and thoughts to life through visuals.

Shirley provided typography and layout for my book's cover. Because I was pleased with her work on my cover, I was delighted to hire her again to design my social media banner and ads. In addition to being a very talented designer, Shirley is unfailingly positive and professional. I look forward to collaborating with her again on my next project.

From the beginning, working with Shirley was an absolute pleasure. She not only delivered stunning typography and layout, but was enthusiastic about the project. Throughout the process, she was professional and responsive, offering me different options and tweaking the design as I suggested. I would recommend Shirley to anyone who wants to work with a friendly and talented designer.
