Design & Composition
Jacket and Cover Design
A successful book cover or jacket vividly reflects its book’s contents and invites the reader inside. I explore various techniques and will listen to your ideas. With an eye-catching front cover, distinct spine, and cleverly arranged copy, your book will look remarkable.
Interior Book Design
Structure, trim size, typography, and skillfully arranged elements are important in making a book easy to navigate and gratifying to hold. Whether you want a classic book design or something more dramatic, your book promises to be distinct and genuine.
Composition and Typesetting
Composition is key in making material accessible. I am committed to high standards, will gladly honor formatting and typesetting guidelines, and bring a creative approach to books with complex hierarchy, multiple languages, and comprehensive back matter.
Visual Proofreading
Another Set of Eyes
Have you already created a book and need another set of eyes? I will carefully examine your work and flag problems in structure, layout, typography, and design. After all, structural balance and visual harmony are vital in guiding a reader through a book's contents.
Design Background
Professional Experience
With a degree in Visual Communication from Loyola University Chicago and experience in marketing, I joined Kachergis Book Design in 2005. That is where I learned to prioritize quality and consistency, thinking creatively to achieve the best results for complex projects with tight budgets and schedules. I am grateful for the eighteen years I spent with a family-run company working in the craft of book design.
I have had the honor to design books for self-published authors, poets, and biographers; The Catholic University of America Press; Franciscan University Press; Sapientia Press of Ave Maria University; Humanum Academic Press; Catholic Education Press; BYU Maxwell Institute; Swedenborg Foundation; Templeton Foundation Press; Sidran Institute Press; and University of Pittsburgh Press.
