Book Design Portfolio

HELLO. 

This site is primarily about my writing. My design portfolio is hosted here.

I'm a graphic designer specializing in books and book-related ephemera. I got into book design by way of writing and editing (which I also do professionally). Clients include Barrelhouse Books, Black Square Editions, Bloof Books, the Center for Women Writers at Salem College, LIT Magazine at the New School, Penny Candy Books, Roundstone Publishing, Soft Skull Press, and others. In addition to the digital book design work I'm showing here, I'm also a book artist who makes handmade chapbooks, limited-edition digital prints, linocut prints, hand-painted posters, and hand-lettered posters and cards. My photographs also appear in some of these designs, and have been featured on/in books from Soft Skull Press, IG Publishing, No Tell Books, and others.

If you've got a design project you think I might be good for, or if you'd like to see more work samples, please use the contact form to get in touch. 

I live in Central NJ, and I also regularly work in both NYC and Philadelphia metro areas.

Hire me to design stuff

I'm open for design projects and can do pretty much anything you need: book covers, book interiors, catalogs, posters, flyers, brochures, web banners, (simple) websites or customized blog templates, etc.

I'm used to working with small presses so I understand financial limitations. I can't work for free, but we can probably work something out that will fit your budget.

Here are some samples:

BOOK COVERS







EVENT POSTERS & ECARDS







BOOK INTERIORS (links are to PDFs, some are large)

Sample from GAMERS

Sample from Saints of Hysteria: A Half Century of Collaborative American Poetry (also did the cover)

PHOTOGRAPHY

I can also take custom photography for design projects (and have done that for this book cover, this book cover, and this book cover, among others).
