Hi, I’m Toni
Book Designer & Production Designer
I design and format books for self-publishing authors and business professionals. I also specialize in the design and production of print collateral for busy Creative Directors.
Print is Alive and Well…
and it’s being used by smart people to promote themselves, their products and services and to educate their customers.
My clients trust the experience I’ve gained over many years in the design and printing industry and they love the personal attention they receive by working with a small studio.
IS THIS YOU?
Most of my clients come from one of these categories:
STUDIOS & AGENCIES
BUSINESS OWNERS
AUTHORS & PUBLISHERS
Experience & Results
I have the skills and experience to help with your print-related projects. I’m a Creative Lead, Brand Guardian, Project Partner and Implementation Specialist who enjoys multi-faceted projects and long term contracts.
What sets me apart from other graphic designers is my experience with the “print production” aspect of graphic design. This skill, vital in the “design to print” process, is no longer widely taught or practiced — except by a seasoned designer such as myself.
Are you a self-publishing author with a manuscript ready to turn into a print or digital book?
Now it’s time to get your words into book form.
Working with independent authors is a special love of mine. I admire the dedication it takes to write a book, to create something important and then entrust it to another person to carry out the vision.
I help non-fiction authors grow their audience by creating striking book designs and I would very much enjoy working with you to design the book you’ve imagined.
I invite you to connect to learn more reasons why working with me can save time and help you avoid costly mistakes.
ABOUT
I left the commercial printing industry in 2006 due to downsizing.
As a senior production designer at the time, I knew I had the skills and experience to become a freelancer. It just took a little nudge from the Universe.
I enjoy helping my clients to realize their goals — simply by doing something that I’m good at! AND ditching my commute to work from home has been great for my
well-being.
It’s so wonderful to see a book or a product catalog fresh off the press and to hear a client exclaim “How beautiful, it’s exactly that we wanted!”
