About this gig

Despite the adage 'don't judge a book by it's cover,' in our oversaturated market visuals are key to selling your book. Authors have seconds for a cover to grab a potential readers attention before the opportunity is lost. Your cover needs to both fit the aesthetic of your genre, yet stand out at the same time.


As a published author who has worked with indie publishers and self-published authors on covers, illustrations, and as a marketing consultant, I've been on your side of the equation. I also have over fifteen years professional experience as both a freelancer, and as a designer and art director at digital advertising agencies. This makes me uniquely positioned to champion your cover art.

I'm an independent artist, author, and designer with ten years experience in a advertising agency environments, and almost twenty years experience as a freelancer. I have a degree in Illustration & Interactive Design from Kendall College of Art & Design, and have spent the last 15 years further developing my skillset. As an author myself, I currently focus on providing services for indie publishers and self-published authors, including branding packages, book covers, marketing evaluations, and designing promotional materials. NOTE: I do not use Generative AI for ANY of my designs.
