The best projects happen when great design, clear communication, and real-world production knowledge come together.
For nearly 20 years, I have helped everyone from small businesses and startups to sports organizations, healthcare groups, sign companies, and national brands turn ideas into high-impact visuals that get noticed and drive results.
My background is a bit unique. For nearly two decades, I was the sole designer for a professional sports team. If you've ever been to a stadium, you know how much visual noise there is. In that fast-paced environment, I handled everything from venue signage and massive sponsorship graphics to digital displays, sales collateral, and team marketing. That experience taught me how to manage tight deadlines, juggle multiple priorities, and consistently deliver quality work under pressure.
Today, I partner with clients across the United States and beyond, bringing the same attention to detail, responsiveness, and production expertise to every project.
✅ WHAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH:
• Billboards & Outdoor Advertising
• Large-Format Signage & Wayfinding
• Sales & Marketing Collateral
• Trade Show & Event Graphics
• Digital Signage & Display Graphics
• Logo Vectorization & Artwork Recreation
• Production-Ready Print Files
✅ WHAT SETS ME APART
Great design is only part of the process. Understanding what happens after the files are approved is what helps ensure a project is successful.
Beyond creating visually compelling work, I consider the practical details that ensure a project succeeds in the real world. That means designing with scale, distance legibility, hierarchy, bleed requirements, and vendor specifications in mind from day one.
When you work with me, you won't get frantic calls from your printer or sign shop about broken files. You'll receive clean, organized, professionally prepared assets that are ready to use.
✅ HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
Whether you need overflow design support to hit a deadline, a quick one-time project, or a reliable long-term creative partner, I'm here to make your life easier.
Shoot me a message and let's discuss how I can help bring your next project to life!

I design and produce professional-grade nonfiction books for authors who want a credible, platform-ready release.
Cover Design only: $750 — Complete Book package: starts at $3,750 — all details below
With 20+ years in design, editorial structure, and digital strategy, I help founders, consultants, executives, and memoirists translate strong ideas into clean, high-trust books.
COMPLETE BOOK PACKAGE: starts at $3,750
This is structured, strategic publishing production.
Narrative Nonfiction | ~50,000 words
Designed for primarily text-forward books such as business, memoir, thought leadership, and expertise-driven nonfiction.
Includes:
Cover design + full interior layout (publish-ready files for your chosen platforms)
Professional typography system and hierarchy
Up to 15 simple tables/charts (basic formatting and placement)
eBook conversion (EPUB)
Keyword + category research for discoverability (Amazon/KDP positioning support)
A basic set of promotional images for launch
Light strategic marketing guidance so your book description, metadata, and launch messaging/timing don't drift
Scoped Separately:
Custom illustration or graphic design
Complex diagrams or infographics
Recreation/redrawing of low-resolution visuals
Recurring design mechanics that require custom layout engineering per page or spread
This package is not appropriate for cookbooks, journals, planners, or other format-driven books.
Pricing Adjusts If:
The manuscript exceeds ~50,000 words
The book has higher visual or structural complexity
Substantial editorial rework is required before design can begin
MANUSCRIPT READINESS
I only take projects that are structurally ready for production, or that have a clear professional editing plan. If your manuscript is still evolving or hasn't been edited, we'll determine the right next step before moving into design.
REQUIRED FIRST STEP: BOOK CLARITY CONSULTATION
A 30-minute paid consultation is required before I quote or schedule work.
I review your manuscript and materials in advance so we can confirm:
Scope class (baseline vs custom)
Timeline feasibility
Production pathway (trim size, paperback/hardcover, KDP vs Ingram)
Discoverability basics (categories, keywords, positioning)
Budget alignment and next steps
If you're still drafting or unsure what you need, the consultation will give you a clear next-step plan.
To get started, click the "Book a Consultation" button on my profile.
COVER-ONLY PACKAGE: $750
Three cover concepts. One round of revisions. Publish-ready files.
This package is for authors who have an interior already in production—or who need a finished cover before other work begins.
Includes:
Three distinct cover concepts developed from a design brief
One consolidated revision round after concept selection
Final files print-ready for KDP and/or IngramSpark
Spine and back cover (if manuscript page count is confirmed)
This package does not include interior layout or typography, eBook conversion, marketing or metadata support, or additional revision rounds (quoted separately if needed).
