About me
YOUR STORY DESERVES A STUNNING FIRST IMPRESSION People do judge a book by its cover and judge the author by the interior which is why it’s crucial to have it right before launch. I know just how much a book cover and a book interior can make or break an author’s rep (I have been a judge a couple of times when I book-shop) and as a passionate reader and lover of books, I give my clients beyond pretty or fine-looking. I give my client what works. And what works is what aligns with your author vision & your target audience. I'm ready to work on your project & help your author dream come true.... Read more

KDP Formatter & Book Cover design for Business Nonfiction Book Formatting and EPUB or eBook

Jun 2026 - Present3 mos

A business coach needed to convert a chart-heavy manuscript into an elite corporate-level print asset. They wanted a detail-oriented freelancer who is skilled in using Adobe Indesign to format and design books. He wanted the interior layout to look professional and modern while still having the visual appeal of a business workbook. I was hired to handle the interior layout as well as the Book Cover Design and Book Cover Formatting. With my knowledge of Adobe Indesign, I created a clean interior layout design for his business workbook and was rehired to handle another in the series. I managed color space management (CMYK) and set up flawless print-ready PDF formatting with custom sidebars. At the end, the first project delivered was premium, error-free documents. The high-end aesthetic elevated their professional positioning, driving a 30% increase in backend coaching opt-ins.

Book Cover Designer For Print & Digital Publishing

Mar 2026 - Present6 mos

As a lead book cover designer, I delivered book cover design solutions for independent authors and publishers across fiction and non-fiction genres. I translated manuscript themes and author ideas/summaries for their book into market-ready formats for social media like 3d mockups and campaign flyers for the book. Designed high-converting ebook cover design files at Amazon KDP thumbnail sizes. Formatted full print-ready paperback wraps, precisely calculating spine width, bleed, and CMYK color management. Created bold front cover concepts focused on strong typography, color harmony, and visual arrangement.
