Please note that I cannot take on new independent author clients at this time.

Independent Authors

I am a freelance senior designer, illustrator and children’s author with over 15 years of publishing experience.

Although I have collaborated with many renowned publishers throughout my career, I also enjoy partnering with independent authors. I strongly believe that professional design can elevate your book and help it gain wider recognition.

I am committed to delivering eye-catching and well-crafted designs that add value to your book for both readers and booksellers.
