I’m a book designer, but more importantly,
a book lover.
To work on a book is a privilege. You collaborate with so many people, all driven by a shared goal: to bring something new into the world.
You carve out a space for new voices, new experiences, and new ideas to take hold and change the world.
With almost a decade of experience in the publishing world, I bring innovation, efficiency, and peace of mind to your team.
I consistently deliver books that capture the essence of a story.
No matter the project, I am the perfect fit for teams that value exciting, engaging books that are designed to last.
I leverage typography and structure to design a book that is inclusive and accessible to its readers.
My minimalist style and meticulous attention to detail design a book that is built to stand the test of time.
At the heart of my process, is exploration. I explore the story and its themes. I explore the feelings it invokes.
I explore all the ways to capture and communicate a story’s essence, and design a book that is innovative and fresh.
