I create custom book covers
When I stepped in to design a couple of covers for my wife (and USA Today Bestselling Author) years ago, I didn't know that it would ignite a passion for cover design. Regardless of the genre, reach out to me for all of your book cover designs.
I excel in creativity
If you're in need of elevating your organization, brand, space, or experience through sales & marketing, product, print, graphic, interior, or packaging design—I can make it happen.
Logic and Creativity
As a designer, I often find myself tapping into the right hemisphere of my brain, where creativity and imagination reside. I rely on this side of my brain to come up with visually striking designs, choose color schemes that evoke emotions, and play with typography to convey messages. But don't get me wrong, the left hemisphere of my brain is just as important in my work. It helps me develop business, define marketing strategies, analyze client briefs, organize my workflow, and apply principles of balance and symmetry to my designs—both sides of the brain working in tandem to produce designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also effective in communicating a message. It's a delicate dance, but one that I find endlessly rewarding.
Some favorites
These projects challenged me in new ways. Each was a masterfully written novel, so identifying and designing the creative was demanding. I sought to devise creative deserving of the content. Incidentally, they have become some of my favorites.
