The Resilient Household Audit: The Home Ecosystem Audit Method for Measuring, Visualizing and Strengthening Household Systems

This book was the first in a series. I designed and prepared The Resilient Household Audit for publication, working from the author’s manuscript and framework sketches. The project included the complete book layout, typography, and finished framework graphics. As a technical manual, it needed a consistent structure that made the information easy to follow and reference. The book can be found here https://a.co/d/0bRfs0B2

Growing Up In the Dirty Thirties

For this project, I handled the book layout and typography and designed a custom cover. When I met Thelma at her assisted living facility, I found her heartfelt memoirs already typed and ready for the next step.

Mystery of the Missing Long John Donuts

I handled the full book layout and cover design for a story both written and illustrated by a talented 10-year-old. When Mali's mom contacted me after her daughter won a school award, she wanted to help turn Mali's project into a published book. Bringing this young author's dream to life was a joyful experience, especially witnessing her excitement as her story took shape. You can find Mali's book here https://a.co/d/0bobr4Vp

Romance Novel Book Cover Design

Linda Rae Sande first contacted me as she embarked on her debut novel, eager to carve her own path in self-publishing. Together, we crafted a distinctive visual identity for her covers, setting her books apart. Over the years, I designed more than 20 book covers, audiobook graphics, magazine ads, and promotional materials, each reflecting the growth of her writing career. Even as she now partners with a publisher for many projects, the logo I created remains a constant symbol of her brand.
