Cover design has been at the heart of my career for over a decade—translating stories, branding, and strategy into visually compelling, market-ready assets across print, eBook, and audiobook formats. I specialize in creating designs that don’t just look great on a screen or shelf—they’re technically sound, printer-ready, and consistent across every platform.
At Fox Chapel Publishing (2022–2025), I designed a wide range of covers for trade books and branded imprints while also producing promotional materials like Amazon A+ content, digital ads, and social media graphics. Before that, I spent 10 years as Creative Director at Purple Toad Publishing, where I developed over 200 covers—many of which Fox Chapel later acquired and republished. I’m fluent in every stage of cover production, from spine alignment and bleed setup to exporting final files for KDP, IngramSpark, Kindle, and ACX/Audible.
My cover work always includes:
Print-ready designs (front, back, spine) for both hardcover and softcover
eBook and audiobook adaptations
Consistent branding across formats
Eye-popping, web-ready JPEGs and 3D marketing mockups
I’m also highly proficient in Photoshop for custom image composition—frequently enhancing stock photography or integrating original images for national posters, banners, and retail assets. One of my favorite projects was A Day at the Port, a promotional book for the Port of Philadelphia that earned the AAPA Award of Excellence.
I’m deadline-driven, collaborative, and comfortable working independently while staying in sync with marketing goals. I’d love the opportunity to bring that same energy and skillset to your team.
Thanks so much for your time—I’d be glad to share samples or chat further.
Warm regards,
