Book & Publication Design
Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation—I am looking forward to learning more about your project!
Since designing my first print book in 1993 I've offered my 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 freelance 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.
