Children’s book design makes my heart happy!

Whether it’s a children’s picture book, a huge non-fiction reference book, sticker, activity, novelty or pop-up book, I will use my keen designers eye to design the perfect book for your market.

I’ve been happily designing books since 2004 – that’s a really long time and a whole lotta books! Some of my favourite projects are pictured in these galleries. Enjoy!

I LOVE brands

If you need a book designer experienced with brands, look no further!

I’ve designed books using the best style guides from some of the most recognisable brands in the world including Star Wars, Lego, Barbie, Hello Kitty, Mr Men, Disney, The Wiggles and Bluey.

About me

I was one of those kids. You know the one. The one who always had impeccably designed cover sheets on their assignments all through school. The one who owned a billion pencils, textas, erasers of all shapes and sizes, a massive sticker collection and a squillion colouring books, notebooks, notepads and scrap books. I loved them all. I loved being crafty and creative and I still do. Now I see it was all leading up to me becoming a graphic and book designer – who knew!

I’ve worked in-house with the lovely teams at Five Mile in Melbourne and Dorling Kindersley and Egmont in London. In January 2010 I stepped out as a freelance designer, working with publishers all over Australia.

For me, book design, is not a job – it’s a love and a passion which is still as strong today as when I first joined the publishing world in 2004. I consider myself lucky to be able to do what I do every day. And, when I see my little boys glowing, happy and proud face as we’re reading a new book I’ve designed (sometimes on my screen before it’s even sent to print!), I know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
