"A book’s cover is what offers the “curb appeal” for the stories that are housed inside."

Hello! I’m Nicole and I design books! Books are life, I love them, reading them and especially designing them! I have been a professional designer for over twenty five years. Over the course of my career as an in-house designer I perfected my technical skills and gained intimate knowledge of the publishing industry. Within that role, I designed and produced the covers and jackets of both nonfiction and fiction trade books including YA and Science Fiction.

Given my experience designing books on a wide range of topics and genres, I am able to tailor my cover art to meet the needs of readers who vary in both age and interest. Now working under my own name has allowed me to make more connections and further develop my skills to accommidate even more genres.

 I live and work on a pork-chop-shaped island nestled between Niagara Falls and Buffalo, NY, with my husband, our two beautiful daughters, and weimaraner named Luna. I’m also a nature freak who loves animals, and gardening. I am very much inspired by Scandinavian design, folk art, and minimalism. When I get to sneak away from my regular routine I like to spend my time painting, dive into a good book or going for a hike.
