I'm a Graphic Designer, Book Layout Artist, Book Cover Designer, Web designer, UI and UX Design with more than 12 years of experience. My work has focused on working with authors: doing book layout and formatting for print, converting and adapting those printed books to electronic formats (ePub eBook, Apple iBooks and fixed-format PDFs), designing book covers, and designing websites mainly for authors. The purpose is to offer authors a full set of designs to create a very professional book and a great website to promote the book and the writer. Your book needs and expert and caring hand to take shape and come to be. The other aspect of my work is in interactive design, interface design (UI, defining the look and feel) and user experience (UX, defining the interaction and navigation) of such things as websites, apps for cellphones or tablets, and software for desktop computers. I also work parttime as a bookseller in a local independent bookstore in Northern California. Services: BOOK FORMATTING: Expert book layout and formatting for print. As a Bookseller, I know the parameters, standards, and rules of professional book layout for print distribution that most people that do book formatting don't seem to know.

As a Bookseller, I understand what makes a book cover looks professional and is appropriate to the different book genres. Many self-published books can be easily spotted and disparaged because they are done without a proper knowledge of design and book publishing. Typography is a big element of any cover design as it is any image used on it. Spines and back covers are also important and many book printing standards are just not known by most graphic designers. I can ensure that your book cover will good looking and professional. WEB DESIGN: I design websites that communicate the spirit, message and personality of an author and its books A website is a window into the author's world and a channel to connect with his or her readers. An author website should be much more than a simple template with some pictures of book covers and buttons to Amazon. GRAPHIC DESIGN: I other types of Graphic Design pieces such as logos, icons, business cards, bookmarks, postcards, brochures, banner ads and the like and marketing and promotional material.

I have over 20 years of hands-on IT experience, most recently as the IT director for a 5 branch county library system. I am an experienced technical writer and editor, have designed and created functional and attractive websites for large companies and nonprofits, and consulted on technology planning and project management. My project management work has segued into working as an executive assistant and executive coordinator to CEOs and C level corporate officers because they require similar skills - keeping an eye on the big picture while not losing sight of the all-important details. I have an excellent home office from which I enjoy keeping everything running smoothly. If it suits you, I can stay in the background, requiring minimal hands-on direction. Once I have everything organized, you will have more time to devote to developing your business without worrying about day-to-day administration. You will likely wonder what you did without me! :slightly_smiling_face: I very much enjoy writing and editing articles and papers, translating them from technical to something much more understandable to a layman. I am excellent at research and familiar with AP writing standards. I have enjoyed helping writers edit their books, and then format and publish them in electronic and print forms. I have designed and conducted classes and tutorials in computer literacy, from beginners to advanced users. I am very good at helping people master technology, and can help with your IT needs if needed. I am an avid reader, Mensa member, and all-around nerd devoted to helping people connect with technology, and using it to make their lives easier and more productive.
