Book design
Books designed to be read – and kept
A well-designed book invites you in, guides your eye, sets the mood and makes reading feel effortless. ¶ My work spans everything from layout and typography to materials and print production – always with the goal of creating books that you want to leave out on the table.
Why book design matters
Books are physical experiences as much as they are stories. The design shapes how a reader feels before even turning the first page.
Good design gives space to the words, supports the text and creates a visual rhythm that carries the story forward. It also gives each publication a distinct identity – something that feels right for both the content and the reader.
I like to collaborate with publishers, editors and authors throughout the process to find that balance between form and feeling. The result is books people want to hold, read and keep.
Wondering what might suit your project? Don’t hesitate to get in touch – I’d love to talk about ideas.

How I work
Every project begins with understanding the story behind the book – its tone, audience and purpose. From there, I create sample pages and a visual concept that supports the content and sets the direction for the full design. I can also assist with communication with the printer and the choice of materials and finishes.
Research & koncept
We discuss your vision, target audience and format.
Design & layout
I create a visual direction, typography and layout samples for feedback.
Final artwork & production
Once approved, I prepare final files, handle production and ensure everything prints perfectly.
