Book Design
Overview
This collection was created while I was working with Goose Lane Editions and showcases my approach to bold, minimal design within an established publishing environment.
In addition to cover design, I also developed interior layouts and managed print production, ensuring each title was consistent, readable, and production-ready from first layout through final files.
The Six at Sixty collection (above left) was recognized with a Redgee Award for Best in Category, Print Media (Atlantic Provinces) in 2015.

Key design decisions
-
Each book was designed to work in real retail environments while staying aligned with Goose Lane’s editorial standards and brand tone.
-
Typography and composition were developed to read instantly on the shelf and as small thumbnails, without relying on visual noise.
-
The interiors were built around hierarchy, rhythm, and readability, supporting the pace of the text while maintaining a clean, minimal aesthetic.
-
From prepress details to final exports, the work was developed with print constraints in mind so the final books matched the intent of the design.
Outcome
A body of publishing work that balances bold minimal design with strong typography, long-form readability, and print production execution, including an award-recognized collection.
