Sydney book designer creating cover designs, interiors, and complete book design solutions for authors worldwide.

I believe a book deserves design that captures its essence and speaks to its market. Every project is different: from literary novels to narrative non-fiction, from illustrated books to business guides, I aim to evoke mood, emotion, and connection through covers and interiors. My goal is to help your book reach its audience and stand out—whether self-publishing or with a major publisher.

Based in Sydney, Australia, I’ve spent over twenty years designing books for major publishers and independent authors. My career began in London at Random House UK, followed by a role as Design Manager at Allen & Unwin, before I established my own studio in 2002.

That foundation in major publishing taught me how to balance creativity with commercial awareness—how to create designs that look beautiful and work. I love the creative process of discovery and refinement—when exploration gradually reveals the design that truly serves the book.

I’ve designed hundreds of titles across fiction and non-fiction, combining strong visual storytelling with practical publishing insight. My approach is intuitive, collaborative, and grounded in experience—always listening, interpreting, and creating designs that connect books with their readers.
