About

Books can be powerfully transformative, they can open minds, lead to new ways of thinking and being, and even help to change entire cultures.

My name is Oliver. I design things, many different kinds of things: things you can see and even things you can hear. And, obviously, as you can see from this website, I design a lot of books, but not just any books. I put a lot of time and effort into giving the books I work on a visual personality that enhances and elevates their content.

I designed my first book in 1991. Since then I have covered all kinds of subject matter: fiction and non-fiction, from novels to complex Master's degree textbooks, and from catalogues to financial reports. Over the years, I have also gained a lot of experience guiding people and organizations through the process of book production, from concept, through design, all the way to printing and self-publishing, via print-on-demand services or publishing houses.

I’ve worked with authors, publishers, and printers, in multiple countries; I’ve had the privilege to work for individuals with a story to tell and organizations with a product to sell or a mission to share. I’m well-versed in typography and graphic design, as well as book design / layout. I often manage projects from their initial idea through to their completion, and have significant experience with complex, multi-faceted projects that involve multiple skillsets.

Whatever your project, I’d love to help you present your words, images, thoughts, and business in the best way possible. If you would like to know more about working with me, just click the 'Get Started' link in the menu to tell me a little bit about your project.
