Obsessed with craft. Engineered for the story.
Behind every great book is a mountain of design choices. From the words you choose to build your world to the pacing of your story margins, every detail matters.
We bridge the gap between your narrative craftsmanship and visual strategy to give independent authors a powerful presence.
ABOUT
The designer.
With over 15 years of professional experience designing brand systems and complex design frameworks, I’ve spent my career understanding how visual choices influence human behavior. I understand how people look at a brand, how their eyes navigate a layout, and how trust is built in a fraction of a second.
Serif & Spine was born out of a deep love for typography, book craftsmanship, and reading. Independent authors spend months, often years, creating sprawling worlds, magic systems, and unforgettable characters. Your book’s exterior and interior design should reflect that level of detail.
I don’t just apply generic layouts or standard fonts to your manuscript. I dive deep into your genre’s audience, analyze your story’s tone, and build a cohesive, bespoke visual brand from the first glance at the cover to the very last page of the layout.
Why choose an independent designer?
A direct, collaborative partnership.
I don’t hide behind buzzwords or rigid corporate processes. Communication is direct, collaborative, and entirely focused on bringing your creative vision to life.
A handcrafted approach.
Your book will never be run through an automated generator or a generic template. Every adjustment is executed line-by-line to ensure perfection.
Built for longevity.
I don’t just design for a single launch day. I think about your career as an author, building versatile assets and systems that scale across multiple sequels and promotional merchandise.
Available for any future issues.
