WHAT ARE MY CLIENTS SAYING?

You were amazing and a true joy to work with.
Ann, Greensville, SC
I found your books [on Blurb.com] and I was JUST BLOWN AWAY. You are gifted.
Jessica, Blurb.com contact
I can get mighty cranky about the tsunami of current “do-it-yourself” graphic design mediocrity that washes past me every day. But your designer Clyde Adams deserves more than a tip-of-the-top-hat for his book design. You picked a winner!
Reg, Newburyport, Mass.
Everything you did for us was just great. It is such a delight working with you. Such calm professionalism, such a beautiful “design mind.”
Cathleen, Santa Monica, California
After reviewing dozens of designers, I found I was most impressed with your style, variety, and lack of cookie-cutter approach.

BOOK DESIGNS

i’ve had a working relationship with Blurb since 2007, and recently was asked to join as a “dream team collaborator.” my goal is to avoid the cookie-cutter approach to book design and provide clients with designs worthy of their photos and stories. i offer full book layout or just cover design.
