Goose Lane Editions
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.
My role included cover design, illustration, interior layout, and print production. From concept development through final files, I helped ensure each publication was visually compelling, readable, and production-ready.
The Six at Sixty collection (below) 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.
