Before I designed for brands, I designed for authors. I was lucky to begin my design career with such a unique opportunity to collaborate with and translate another’s creative discipline into my own.

A successful book cover is memorable, and eyecatching, yet sits somewhere within the genre in order to stand out. But most importantly, there has to be something hidden within the artwork that nods to a key point in the book, like an inside joke between the book and its reader. I want the reader to stop mid-sentence, flip back to the cover and let out a long “Ahhhh… I get it now.”
