discreet book cover, formatting, & website designs

An indie author helping other indie authors create beautiful custom designs that leave a lasting impact on readers.


about the designer

Hi, love!I'm an independent author doubling as a freelance book cover designer & formatter. When I was publishing my debut novel, I struggled to find cover designers & formatters who would work within my budget. So I did it all myself, and after the wonderful response I received, I decided to start designing covers & formatting for others too.My mission is to partner with other indie authors to create striking covers and interiors that catch the eyes of readers, and do so at an affordable price. I am relatively new and entirely self-taught in graphic design, and I appreciate every opportunity to create stunning books that leave an impression on readers and authors alike.Thank you for letting me be part of your story.
