Welcome! I’m Ashley and I am a graphic designer specializing in book design and typesetting. I initially dreamed of working for a fast-paced magazine, designing page layouts and living in a big city. But when I was first introduced to book design during an internship in college, I fell in love. Book design allows me to flex my creative muscles, but it also gives me the opportunity to solve the puzzle of how best to portray an author’s ideas. I am very detail oriented and spend time making sure each element serves the book as best it can, down to margin size and indent spacing. I pride myself in making a beautiful design while honoring the needs of the author, editor, printer, etc. I have been designing books professionally for over 19 years and have designed hundreds of book covers and interiors. I currently live in Kansas City with my husband and two children in a 1970s home that we are [slowly] renovating. Take a look through my work samples and contact me if you’d like help making your book shine!
"I've owned my own business since 2009 and worked with countless freelancers of all kind, and Ashley has been the most talented, professional, courteous, communicative, detail-oriented, and reliable freelancer I've ever worked with. She got my project done in exactly the amount of time she said she would and I LOVE the design of my book! She was patient with me through the process of making sure the design was just how I wanted it to be, and I couldn't be happier with her work :)"

"Is it too much to say a freelancer was perfect? Well, she was! Ashley was communicative, speedy, and reliable in every way. Her design skills are outstanding. She is creative and just got what I wanted. She also consistently listened to my feedback and immediately made adjustments as I wanted. I will 100% work with Ashley again. I can't recommend her highly enough."
