Book design
Designing books worth keeping
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. ¶ Whether it’s a novel, a biography or an illustrated publication, each project becomes a balance between storytelling, craft, and precision.
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.

How I work
Every project starts with understanding the story behind the book – its tone, audience and purpose. From there, I create a visual concept that supports the content and follows through to production. I can also assist with prepress, printer communication, and 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.
