I design book interiors, covers, and publication layouts for authors, publishers, and professional teams who care about what they're producing. My work ranges from literary fiction and art books to white papers and technical reports. Readers assess a publication before they've read a word. The layout, the typography, the spacing all signal whether the content is worth their time. HOW I WORK I build every project from scratch rather than from a template. Each project receives a custom grid, style sheet, and typographic hierarchy built specifically for its content. That structure is what makes the document consistent across hundreds of pages, fully editable after delivery, and print-ready without surprises. I work independently. I catch the things clients don't know to look for, flag problems early, and handle production complexity so you don't have to think about it. SERVICES → Layout and typesetting for books, reports, and illustrated publications → Print-ready data visualisation and infographics for data-heavy publications and catalogues → Cover design from concept through print-ready file → Multi-language typesetting WHAT CLIENTS SAY ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Exceeded expectations.
