Overview
"Language is wine upon the lips" – Virginia Woolf
As a book nerd, literature lover and typography enthusiast, I was already designing books while studying graphic design and I haven't stopped since! I am now a very experienced book cover designer working for most of Germany's top publishing houses including Penguin / Random House. I have designed works of authors as diverse as Karen McManus, Ruta Sepetys and Jean Webster and I am happiest when crafting covers for teens' titles.
Marci Lyn Curtis (The Leading Edge of Now): »My books never have simple themes that are easy to translate into images … it’s amazing that you were able to capture them so well! Thank you for doing such a beautiful job!«
For me, I start by reading your work and really immersing myself in your world. This allows me to convey your story in a clear and beautiful way on the cover, so you can capture your readers from that very first glance.
