Since designing my first print book in 1993 I've offered my award-winning publication design expertise in service to inspired authors, photographers, and value-centered organizations.
Whether you are an writer working with a publisher or self-publishing, writing a memoir, compiling an ebook, or publishing a tech manual, I'd love to hear more about your project vision. I provide professional consultation, design, and production from concept to deliverable. I advise on formatting, flow, typography, illustration and image placement, and prepare manuscripts for on-demand digital or traditional printers. I am happy to work with you on your timeline on any part of your publishing project including concept and planning, budget, cover, interior, index, proofreading, and images. I maintain an aesthetic eye for coherence and detail while holding the complete book in mind.
My 20+ year publishing design background features retail and editorial Art Direction and communications consulting. I have worked for Land's End, McGraw Hill, AT&T, Microsoft, Alaska Airlines Magazine, Seattle Opera, and KCTS 9 TV among others.
Currently, I am researching my PhD dissertation in depth psychology and writing my first novel.
Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation—I am looking forward to learning more about your project!
