Strategic, actionable, visual solutions to make you stand out in the crowded marketplace.
Delivering customized visual solutions for all aspects of the book creation process through evocative and brand-specific designs
Book Covers
Are you a publisher looking to outsource some of your book cover projects?
I have over twenty years of graphic design experience, and I am also a published illustrator. Having worked with the publishing industry for years, I understand the intricacies of the production process and have a deep understanding of design concepts, color theory, and the psychology of how humans perceive visuals. I use this knowledge to create unique human-made book covers that resonate with your customer on a subconscious level. I would love the opportunity to work with you on some book projects.
Are you an indy author in need of a book cover?
You worked countless hours to develop, revise, and perfect the manuscript. Your book cover design needs the same attention to detail and must be as unique as you are. I will create a truly original design for your book or series without cookie-cutter overused styles. My cover design will set you apart in the crowded marketplace and will connect with your perfect customer.
Book Design & Layout
If the cover is the promise, then the interior book design is the fulfillment of that promise.
I believe a successfully designed book engages the reader, creates a seamless reading experience, and conveys the overall message and theme of the genre and story being told.
So, if the writer shapes the words that tell the story, and the illustrator evolves the visual story, then it’s the designer’s job to marry the words and the art to create a visual arrangement that will make all components of the book work cohesively with purpose and appeal.
I bring together the inside and outside of your book to ensure your message is cohesive across the board to meet the reader’s expectations of a professional read. Your book layout will include cohesive design elements that unify the theme and tone established by the cover. I deliver customized originality.
Logo Design and Branding
New author in need of branding solutions?
Whether you are a publishing house with a new author to support or you are developing your own author brand, you need a visual presence that embodies the essence of who you are and what your books represent.
Your brand is your promise to your customer. It communicates to the customer what they can expect from you, your products, and your services. It also sets you apart from your competitors. Your brand is the result of who you are, who you want to be, and who people perceive you to be.
I have developed branding exercises to help you step through the process that will define what your brand and brand message should be. Using this discovery process, I will develop your visual brand assets and provide you with a customized branding guide.
Author Marketing Material
You and your book deserve great marketing collateral.
You have a beautiful book and established brand, now you must let your customers know about your offerings. Author collateral includes anything digital or printed that you use to engage, educate, and encourage potential customers to connect with you and your books.
Whether you are looking for printer materials to enhance your in-person events, or you need help with your digital presence, I can create on-brand visuals for you. Let me develop a cohesive marketing package for you that can include:
• business cards
