I work closely with
authors and publishers

to create book covers that feel as meaningful as the stories they hold.
My covers are rich in emotion, texture and atmosphere — each one designed to spark curiosity, set the tone, and connect with readers before the first page is even turned.

From soulful fiction, non-fiction to artful coffee table books,

I bring great care, thoughtfulness and storytelling to every stage of the process. Together, we’ll shape a cover that feels timeless, true to your vision, and beautiful enough to be proudly displayed.
