Book and Publication Design

Books are very fine tuned pieces of art. From the cover and blurb to the subtle way the text is displayed across the pages. From the feel of the paper to the weight of the book in your hand. 

Books and publications are beautiful collections of knowledge and wondrous stories for us to delve into. I have a great love for this art form and I am dedicated to creating the best platform for you to share your voice.

Book design includes the typesetting of your book as well as the cover design, illustrations, content organisation and print setting. It is a delicate process to create the perfect book. Each book holds its own personality and this comes through the subtle nuances of its design as well as it’s words.

I offer my services to create the visual appeal of your book, including the creation of all necessary imagery, whether this be the capture of relevant photography or the illustration of a children’s book.

I am currently open to work with Authors and Publishers on books as well as clients with publications, single run magazines, business documentation, and portfolios.

Each book is individual and as such is the requirements of each of my clients. If you are interested in getting your book or publication designed please contact me through the form at the bottom of the page. If you are a publisher looking for a book designer or illustrator please also contact me for request of my CV.
