David is an amazing designer—professional, creative, and highly responsive. He turned my story into something truly special. Highly recommend working with him! – Almudena K (author)
David was wonderful. I began by enlisting his services just for the cover. He captured the essence of the book in a single iteration. His layout on both the back cover and within helped make the book indistinguishable from any traditionally published new release. Above all else, he was a delight to work with. My writing advice is this - hire David to assist you with your publishing efforts! – Michael Barrett (author)
I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend David. For the last two months, we have worked closely with him on our book project. I can confidently state David has exceptional talent to translate complex and confusing ideas and concepts into a visually stunning and commercially viable book design. I honestly didn’t think we would be finished until January, given our rather unique situation, but David beat the deadline by weeks! The cover wrap of my client’s book, Eschewal’s shows vision and technical proficiency. David understands the publishing industry and was able to capture the essence of the book. Without hesitation, I strongly recommend David for your book design and am certain he will be a valuable asset to your team. – Kimberly Fried
David is a real artist. He gave a modern spin to my historical projects and this was exactly what was needed to make them shine. I've had a blast working with David to revamp my three book covers and the results speak for themselves - Amazon CTR has grown exponentially (4x), sales have tripled on one book and increased significantly with my others. A cover does speak a thousand words, and David's covers certainly do! I must also add his paperbacks versions are some of the handsomest I've ever seen. Our digital vision translated beautifully to the physical versions and I have all three displayed proudly around my house now! Thank you David! – David Lawrence (author)
David was prompt and thorough in all our communication. When we started, I had some changes to the brief which he accommodated immediately. He incorporated my feedback effectively and, when I asked him to try something outside the scope of the direction we were currently traveling, he put it together without question (it didn’t work . . .) His experience in publishing and book design were evident from the first set of samples he produced. If you respond positively to his aesthetic, vis a vis book design, I would recommend David without qualification. – Geoffrey B (author)
David was able to take the heart of our book and turn it into the perfect cover image. His attention to detail is remarkable-from color to shadows to overall nailing the mood of the scene. He was patient with this first-time author and was timely in answering questions and integrating our feedback. We absolutely love the formatting of the book as well. Again, his eye for detail shines through with elegant design elements throughout. A pleasure to work with. – Sweta Patel (author)
David executed my cover concept and interior layout beautifully, adding his creative touch and expertise. As a self-pub newby, he guided me through the process and navigated my blizzard of minutiae with patience and professionalism. A large time-zone difference was a challenge, but he made it work and went the extra mile. – Billy Sprague (Author)

"Every interaction with David was excellent, as was the cover he designed for my novel. He also designed the interior and formatted the manuscript. He was flexible in working through the corrections. I highly recommend David and will not hesitate to work with him again on my next novel. D. L. Whipple." Author
"I have worked with David on several projects; his ideas, suggestions, and final work product are always first-rate. He takes the time to understand the essence of the work, and I am delighted with the covers he has created for me. I trust his instincts, and in both cases (I have worked with him to develop two covers), I have been delighted with the designs for my books. He does what he says he will do, which is essential to me. His communication skills are excellent, and he provided choices and ideas that inspired me to go beyond what I thought was possible for my novels. I would recommend David without reservation. You won't be disappointed!"
-Harold Schmidt (author) David is a consummate professional who single-handedly transformed by manuscript into a book. Among the four covers he created for me, I picked a beautiful, graphic design that fit perfectly with my book concept. In addition, David translated my Word manuscript into both a print-ready PDF for the paperback and an EPUB document for the ebook. Both were perfectly formatted and ran the first time. In sum, David is a rarity--both a top-notch artist and also a computer-savvy tech guy who can turn your publishing dream into reality--beautifully. 5 stars all around! – Vernon R (author)
David was very easy to work with and gave me several good cover options. I already plan on using him to develop the cover for my next book! - Don Heywood, author of The Needle Shower
This was a new experience for me. David was helpful and clear. The process was simple and David was supportive throughout. I will definitely reach out to him again if I need his services. Margaret H – Author
David went above and beyond for my book cover. The initial draft wasn't what I had in mind, and after communicating with him more about the look I was going for, he took all my notes and wowed me with the final presentation, even giving me a few options to pick from. The cover was exactly what I wanted, and he was very quick to communicate with me. You won't regret hiring him. – Ariel Chapman (Author)
I thought David and I worked well together. My inexperience in self-publishing might have been a challenge to a less patient and competent designer, but David was excellent: timely, professional work, and a willingness to work through some of my last-minute changes. I would recommend him to anyone looking for first-rate work. – William S. (Author)
It was a pleasure working with David. My book was a complex and difficult concept to convey at a glance, but David was able to make that happen. His ability to use our own photography to that end was a bonus. The result was an original, striking and effective cover. – James P. (Author)
