** Creative by Nature. Strategic by Design. Trend-Obsessed by Choice. ** With over a decade of digital marketing experience spanning corporate, agency, and freelance realms, I’ve seen trends come, go, and come back ironically rebranded. I’m a passionate creative who thrives on bringing fresh ideas to life that tells a great story. From Fortune 500 boardrooms to fast-moving startup Slack channels, I’ve built marketing strategies and creative assets that not only look great but work hard. I believe in the magic that happens when timeless marketing principles meet modern tactics and I’m always chasing that next big idea to push the boundaries of what’s possible. If you’re looking for someone who brings bold ideas, proven strategy, and an unhealthy obsession with analytics dashboards, let’s talk. I’m always ready to roll up my sleeves and make something remarkable.

I can help with the complete book design and publishing experience - for both print and ebook.

Please note: I'm not an illustrator so I'm not able to provide custom artwork, but I do use the magic of graphic design to create unique images using existing art/graphics/photos. - Page design & formatting - drawing inspiration from your cover and overall vision for your book, I'll provide multiple page design options - from there we'll fine-tune to bring the elements of your book together into an engaging and cohesive package. - Ebook conversion - creating ebook files for Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, Nook , ​& others that mirror the print version of your book - I specialize in complex ebook formatting and work directly in the HTML coding for the best looking and most functional ebook possible - NO stripped-down ebooks built by third-party/auto-conversion tools! - Assistance with CreateSpace, Ingram Spark, Lightning Source, KDP, Apple Books, Smashwords, LOC, and more - all of these sites/services can be complicated to navigate!

Over 10 years of book design, Lorie has found online communication to be much more effective for the work required and for overall project management. If a phone consult is required, it is only offered at a premium hourly rate.

You’ve written a book; now you need it to look and read like one. I help authors transform raw manuscripts into polished, publication-ready books through expert editing and professional formatting. Whether you’re planning to self-publish or pitch to small presses, I’ll make sure your writing shines and your layout meets industry standards. I’m the founder and lead editor of an independent publishing press, where I’ve guided authors from messy drafts to finished books available in print and digital formats. That hands-on experience means I understand every step of the process, from developmental editing and line refinement to interior design, typesetting, and file prep for KDP and IngramSpark. I approach every project collaboratively and respectfully, my primary motivation being assisting the artist in bringing their vision to print, whatever that vision may be. Let’s bring your book to life. Send me a message, and we can talk about what your manuscript needs to be ready for readers.

𝟏𝟎𝟎% 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐞 Welcome to my profile. I’m a senior graphic designer with 6 years of experience, specializing in presentation and pitch deck design while also working across broader graphic design needs. My approach is simple: strong structure, clear messaging, and clean visuals that serve a purpose. Presentations are a core part of my work. I design pitch decks, investor presentations, sales decks, and internal reports that are easy to follow, professionally laid out, and fully editable in PowerPoint, Canva or Google Slides. I focus heavily on hierarchy, spacing, typography, and flow so each slide supports the story instead of distracting from it. Alongside presentations, I work on branding and marketing design including brochures, reports, social media visuals, and digital assets making sure everything stays consistent with your brand and works in real-world use. I joined Upwork last year, but bring hands-on experience from working with startups, agencies, and businesses across different industries. I’m available to start immediately and happy to jump in whether you need to refine an existing design or build something from the ground up. -- - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - -- Keywords Core Graphic Design Keywords Graphic Design, Visual Design, Creative Design, Professional Graphic Designer, Custom Design, Brand-Focused Design, High-Quality Design, Modern Design, Clean Design Branding & Identity Brand Identity Design, Logo Design, Branding, Visual Identity, Brand Guidelines, Rebranding, Corporate Branding, Startup Branding Marketing & Digital Design Social Media Design, Marketing Graphics, Digital Ads, Banner Design, Web Graphics, Email Design, Canva Design, Figma Design Print & Layout Design Print Design, Brochure Design, Flyer Design, Poster Design, Business Cards, Stationery Design, Packaging Design, Label Design, Layout Design Presentation & Documents Presentation Design, Pitch Deck Design, PowerPoint Design, Google Slides, Corporate Presentations, Investor Decks, Sales Decks UI / UX & Web Assets UI Design, UX Design, Website Design, Landing Page Design, App Design, Wireframes, User Interface Design Content & Publishing Ebook Design, PDF Design, Report Design, Whitepaper Design, Editorial Design Tools & Software Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Figma, Canva, PowerPoint, Google Slides Client-Focused Keywords Fast Turnaround, Attention to Detail, Clear Communication, Revision-Friendly, Client-Focused, Reliable Designer, Long-Term Collaboration
