Publication Design

Since 2011, I have helped purpose-driven leaders reach their goals through premium publication design. It is still my signature offer. I can help you creatively document your mission and values, articulate vision and impact, examine and celebrate this year’s milestones, and engage continued support through your publication.

I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to your publication project. When you work with my studio, you’ll get a highly creative and professional teammate who brings immeasurable value to your organization and visual messaging, not just a publication. Bring me on in the ideation stage of the project and I’ll collaborate closely as I learn the vision and become an ally in your mission and storytelling.

Here are the kinds of projects I can help with:

  • High-end Annual Report

  • Custom publication to mark a milestone

  • Cookbook

  • Guided journal

  • Workbook

  • Coffee table book

  • Art/photography book

  • Poetry chatbook

  • Periodical publications, magazines, or journals

  • Book layout and cover for self published books

  • Got something else? Let’s chat.

For non-profits

My studio’s repeat nonprofit clients say their Annual Report is the single most important marketing tool they have. The stakes are high with an Annual Report or milestone publication – your most valuable marketing asset – and you need the right team in place to take your report to the next level. I’ve spent the last decade crafting dozens of premium publications for non-profits and foundations to continuously raise the visual branding bar for these clients, yielding broad organizational results and furthering missions that matter.

Let’s collaborate to amplify your best stories, strengthen connections with your audiences, and bring your custom publication to fruition. You need a seasoned publication designer guiding the process from idea to print. I know how to strike the ideal balance between the effectiveness of a creative agency and the flexibility of a solo freelancer. I know the pain points of publication projects and how to work within organizational limitations while pushing the bounds creatively throughout the process. I understand your stakeholders and audiences, and I design with them in mind.

Together, we can be sending off to the press a final product you’ll be deeply proud of, thanks to my design expertise and intentional collaboration style.

For creatives

My studio can make your book a reality! As an author, poet, and artist myself, I know how important it is to showcase your work in a way that feels aligned and honoring to the work you’ve put in. The heart behind the recipes, the context of the images, the fine tuning of elements so your work reads the way you meant it. I get it – and it all matters to me too. I seek to deeply understand your messaging and mission and help you craft the book that feels like you and tells your story both beautifully and effectively.

Let’s finally get that book into your hands.
